Definitely true. all the antiviruses, secure operating systems, firewalls, complex passwords etc fail in the face of a good social engineer and a willing dupe. It requires little hacking skill once the target has handed over the keys. The skill is in the preparation, research of the target and convincing the victim to cooperate.
Those engineers will steal your beer.
