There's another choice, though: instead of being a drive-by cynic, just move on and don't comment.

It's not like these people are providing a valuable service, steering everyone away from the dumb scams. They're just pattern matching and assuming everything they doesn't seem to make sense (in their generally not-well-informed opinion) must be bad.

It's unnecessary, and is noise just as often as it's not.

Unfortunately that recommendation is also pushed by snakeoil salesmen.
