Frankly, I am surprised at how many there are, how they operate in broad daylight and in spite of all the warnings, and how people STILL become victims. It’s virtually impossible to have any kind of website, business, or even mailing address that they don’t try to weasel some money out of. I listed some furniture for sale on Craig’s List, and got several “interested buyers” who lived oversees and wanted to trick me in some sort of wire transfer scam. They’re a brazen bunch!

Scammers sure are persistent, and they seem to be everywhere: kinda like cockroaches. Glad you’re wise to them – but it’s too bad about the guy you know of who went to jail. Anyway, I am doing a post soon documenting how I BS’d a Nigerian 419 scammer. Good times were had by all – stay tuned.

Each time I advertise, the first to respond are the scammers. I laugh at them and wonder how they can still get people to pay them money, or even read about what they have to say, when all this information is being provided all over the internet by one website or another. I know of someone who went to jail because of getting a an internet “job”. He was the only contact for people to find when their ordered-paid for-merchandise was never delivered. I guess we will never have enough articles like this one!
