yes, of course women should be warned about going into dangerous territory, and they should definitely take precautions - but they should never be told not to do something, even if there were a million cases of scams before. We're all curious, some of us dream about it, others go out and do it.

But I think the more naive/younger the woman, the more cautious people should be about letting her fall into a relationship like that. Of course a lot of girls with low self-esteem for example will easily fall into a trap because of a few sweet words. But if a grown woman knows what she wants/is doing, it's up to her to decide what she wants out of it.
