This is something I used to ask myself until I realised that we live in a low-trust society.
It's often easier to scam Westerners precisely because they come from high-trust societies, and we mistake that trust for stupidity.
Take the US, for example. You can print your own check, deposit a check by simply taking a picture with your banking app, and even start using some of the money before the check has fully cleared. You don't even have to visit a bank.
Compare that with most parts of Africa, where something as simple as forgetting your banking app password can mean physically visiting a bank branch with all your identification documents.
We have become so accustomed to suspicion and distrust that we mistake our cunningness for intelligence and other people's trust for foolishness.
We think we are smarter because we are harder to fool, without realising that we have built societies where nobody trusts anybody.
this makes perfect sense
Jean failed on Peter for one biological reason: she assumed his brain controls his body.
Hulk and Punisher have standard mammalian neural architecture. Frank is driven by singular trauma, and Banner is driven by fractured rage. Both have a centralized steering wheel in the prefrontal cortex, Jean just reached in and took the keys.
Peter’s biology doesn't work like a human's. The spider bite mutated his nervous system into a decentralized arachnid network where motor functions operate completely detached from conscious thought.
We saw the proof in No Way Home: Strange knocked Peter’s entire conscious soul into the Astral Plane, and his empty physical body was still effortlessly dodging a Sorcerer Supreme on pure autonomic reflex.
Jean was successfully hijacking Peter’s thoughts, but his limbs don’t wait for cognitive permission when a threat is present. She took over the driver's seat of a vehicle operating entirely on autopilot.

“I don’t like giving advice I like for people to make their own decisions but I can make suggestions because it is a very tough decision especially in the Nigeria we are in today. The economy is not doing so well, there’s no job security, the cost of living is killing the living. It takes a lot of reason”
