On the surface yes it might not have been the best approach to trade for $6,000 but ignoring the background he did a fair level of due diligence compared to some of the other folks who fall for this scam. But I don't see why you would hammer the guy for being scammed.
Maybe call the other person on the phone asking for $6k and confirming it's them? Then call the 3rd party and specifically ask them to vouch?
Not even an attempt at a phone call before xfer lolCoin seems like a complete lack of due diligence.
As with all markets, Caveat Venditor and Caveat Emptor.
edit: Yes, I'm old, I still use the phone for financial transactions I consider large-ish. But then again I know the people I'm dealing with.
