It sounds like the scam was possible because of shortcomings on the part of the tRump campaign, not because of the lack of critical thinking skills of the people giving money - or rather, the lack of critical thinking skills on the part of the donors was indicated by who they intended to give money to, rather than falling for the scam.

I bet it also has a lot to do with the election spending rules. I think in many democracies there is only one way to donate money to a campaign, and that is to donate the money directly. PACs make that very confusing - there are legitimate organizations that are not affiliated with a campaign but that are nonetheless raising money to help get the candidate elected.
