Yup. As all the scams have proven, it's easy to track and get the money back.
And that's before we get into nuggets like this [1]:

A clever operator found a vault containing five Bored Ape NFTs, which had unclaimed $APE associated with them since they were locked up in the vault. They used a flash loan to purchase a large amount of the vault's token, redeem the five BAYC NFTs, claim the airdropped tokens, return the BAYC NFTs, sell back the tokens, and repay the loan, all in one transaction that cost them nothing but netted them 60,564 $APE, which they then swapped for 399 ETH ($1.1 million).
People were somewhat split on whether this could be classed as a vulnerability in the $APE airdrop, since (as with many crypto hacks and scams) the person was operating completely within the rules set out in code.
Reminds me of the guy who bought a pass for unlimited flights for $250,000 and cost the airline millions in losses[1]. This is not a vulnerability, and not a crypto problem either, just a poorly designed giveaway
