If I go to someone and offer them a shoe box full of gold for 100$, no I wont open the box, and they agree, then I don’t think that is a scam and more that said person is too stupid to be in public.

This is exactly the mindset of a scammer, 'well, if they're so stupid that they let me scam them then they deserve it'.
