It is unethical and a mean thing to do, but it is not cheating otherwise forum would have posted as such.

Would "scum" be a suitable description?

If scamming is done with phishing, then it is illegal also by law.
If you give someone your password, and he scams you, then this is not cheating, because it is your fault.

Well I see it as cheating.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
It's all up to the players...

I got taught one of the most important lessons of my life being scammed.

If you get scammed, tough luck.
