Explanation
For the schemes to “prey” on people, those people would need to want what is being advertised. Beguiled by and enamored with mean “lured by or infatuated with.”
Obsessed by and possessed by go too far. Aggrieved by and vexed by are negative (if you were vexed by quick riches and fancy trips, you wouldn’t be easy prey, and also you’d be really weird).
Options Beguiled by, enamored with are best fit.
