I would suggest that, in the "real world", most of the people that are nearly impossible to protect, don't have much money. Now "real world" scams have been around for quite a while, and we teach about them in school. However they still work with some people, which is why those people don't have much money. Online scams are newer, and many of their victims left school long before the scams became popular. I expect the online situation will stabilize in about the same way as the "real world" one has.
