Yeah, I don’t understand this either. If someone offered me to make me rich by paying him 10 bucks on the street, I’d tell him to fuck off and evaluate my chances in a fight and/or escape route. But as soon as a computer is involved, some people’s brain shuts off or something.

Well, you see, according to some mythology, the internet is the place of all ideas; thus it is compared to Platon’s notion of “heaven”.

Now, people have been told for generations that “heaven is a good place”, and since the internet approximates heaven, people trust it way too much.
