You had the choice between attacking my statement by citing a few successful public education campaigns (there aren't many) or attacking me.
You attacked me. Wonderful way to convince others about your point.
The lack of a successful "education campaign" does not mean that education is a bad idea. It just means we haven't done it right yet.
And probably won't. Look at this loud minority of people who text while driving, think the EM field will give them cancer, are opposed to nuclear energy...
I suggest the government to allow people get scammed, _do_nothing_ about it. Abolish laws against fraud; people will be more careful, knowing there's no saving net at the end.
Let's also legalize murder. If you make someone mad enough to kill you, you deserve to die. Society doesn't need a "safety net".
