The success of con "artists" and "scam" artists is proven time and time again because some people thrive on being duped. Why?

They will believe the snake oil salesman all the time. The cureall never works and in fact often makes folks who buy it and swallow SICK but buy it they do over and over again. I can understand being conned/duped/scammed ONCE. But repeatedly? Seriously? Is it obstinate determination that drives folks to put themselves up for sale to the sleazeballs and fakirs? What's the lure? What's the appeal? Where's the profit for them in that?
