There are scammers everywhere now days. The call your home, and invade your inboxes. They pop up as ads all over the internet. I usually just ignore them, but I am so tired of them and cleaning my inbox of them. All the promises of tons of money with little or no work. It never ends.
I often wonder why people would choose to live a life as a scammer. It may be easy to take peoples' money, but is it worth it? They choose a life of dishonesty and loneliness. No matter how careful these people are, they will get caught and lose everything they ever had. Can you just imagine your spouse getting arrest for being a con man (or woman) or scammer? I would never trust that person again. It would break my heart, yes, but it wouldn't be worth ruining my reputation over it. Even being married to a person like that would ruin my reputation to some degree. My friends would stop trusting me and probably anyone that knew me. Do they not realize how selfish this is, or have they just stopped caring?
What these scammers don't realize, is that they are not just ruining peoples' lives, but are ruining their own in the long run.
A few years back the latest greatest scam going around what the "You won X amount of dollars in some foreign country, but in order to give it to you, you have a pay a "duty" of X amount." Not sure what they named this one. Knowing this scam was going around and just waiting for my turn to mistakenly answer the phone I was prepared with my own little "scam" just for them.
