JimKellyfan

I don't remember the actual number, but it was much higher than I thought.
I want to say it was at least 5% that bite into this nonsense.

After all genetics is not an equal opportunity thing :>O

I love how this sounds like a they are selling something like saying ONLY $265 and no hidden fees.

I feel no pity for any dumbass who (or had) went through with this, if they are so stupid to not realize what this is the scammers deserve the money.

They will also find out who it is. May not necessarily be able to do anything about it but impersonating an FBI Agent/Official is a pretty big no-no, even if you aren't from this country.

I do believe that there is a field office in Wilmington. If not, there's one in Philly. I can see it from my window in my office.

Consider an alternate view. Some may consider that the poor perpetrators of those bank scams and the Somalian pirates are victims of western oppression, globalization and corporate colonialism. Aren't they are just trying to make a living and stem the cash flow from their borders in the same reverse manner as the West?

Shouldn't we have some compassion for their plight?

Please don't turn this political?:(

Compassion for our fellow man shouldn't be political should it?
The interesting question is always, what drives one to criminal activity?
Clearly, the bank scams and other such criminal activity is spawned for a reason.
Is the reason purely evil and selfish on the part of the perpetrators?

Just some questions to consider. It is often useful to view a question from an alternate point of view.

I am under the assumption that you are being sarcastic and don't really believe what you are writing. Please tell me that my assumption is correct.

Mark, does everything have to be so serious all the time with you? I posted this thread cause I thought it would get a good laugh from everyone.

cstmar01

and .......

thread is now derailed.

I'm going to go stick a fork in my eye so maybe I can better see the logic some people (X) use in terms of discussion, because I'm already blind to how we went from funny to political....and all the other BS

sucks2beme

I have nothing but scorn for all scammers. End of story.
Just because they steal with a pen or keyboard instead of
a gun doesn't make it any better. I'm all in favor of bringing
back the old practice of "tar and feathering".

are you kidding? bank scams are spawned for a reason?? they are f#^@%n thieves!!! get it? you should mail them a cheque right away and sign it "from the guy with no brain and compassion for liars and thieves"! i could safely allow myself to group these **** in the same collective as the coward with the lighter fluid and matches.

Keep your eyes, ears and mind open.

You ever heard of the idea "the ends do not justify the means"?

What they are doing is not civil disobedience. Nor is it a plea for charity and assistance. Their own government actively shuts them down. They are named after a police crime code in Nigeria for the criminal activity in the scam.

If a crime is committed by enough people it can show a civil injustice that society is attempting to right through disobedience. The scammers are actively being deceptive in order to obtain money under false pretenses that many of them say they will pay back. They obtain the victim's trust under these false pretenses with every intention of betraying that trust.

How is this a window in to another world where some kind of injustice is being perpetrated against these people that this criminal activity is the only option? What injustice is there? Because Nigeria is an impoverished nation? Because the Western world victims are "wealthy"? What should we be doing? Hating ourselves because we are wealthy so we should be handing over our paychecks, bank accounts and such to some jerk in another country who obviously believes that he's of an intelligence level far above mine?

Yeah, right.

If things are so bad in Nigeria, why don't these people put the same amount of effort in to changing things there that they put in to trying to scam us? Things might be different for them. I mean, look what it did for places like the U.S., France, Japan and others.

It's people like you with your twisted view of what is just in this world that are the problem with this world.

Keiko there is nothing wrong with considering other points of view.
Believe it or not people have them. After all this is a forum.
It is when one resorts to adolescent harrassment and personal attacks that it becomes a problem.

You want to see a forum where everyone agrees with you.
If they don't you brand them a troll. You have done this many times in the past.
It would be better to discuss things you don't agree with in a positive manner and stay away from all the personal attacks.

With respect to the subject of this thread which was centered on the creativity of scammers.
My questions where very relevant.
You need to understand the scammers and where they are coming from.
The solution as I pointed out is to be creative. I pointed out how reverse scamming was used.
It was developed over the course of several posts. Some actually got it.

yes you may have been trying to be funny but it also very seriously derailed the thread and made it seem like you were trying to argue with others. Joe just wanted to have us get a laugh at what he posted.

So you believe it is better to keep your eyes, ears and mind closed?

It is clear that you don't really understand my view at all.
Why you believe my view is twisted and why it is a problem in this world?

since im not the nicey nice type i think ill keep mine own suggestions to myself but i can assure you it would be on the opposite end of the "lets figure out how they tick" spectrum .

p.s. i do see the attemtpt at humor...now . ha ha. i may gave been still boiling during response due to that horrific treatment of the cat. now if they were using them as shark bait.... (that too was an attempt at humor. not all that funny though was it.)

mhmacw

you know in a way i get the scam thing and it seems to me if your dumb enough to fall for it you sort of get what you deserve. my biggest issue is the fbi impersonation. that sort of t's me off. seems like it would be pretty easy to hack their conn and set it on fire or something without spending tax money to figure them out. i dont support spending tax money to toy with these buttholes.

mhmacw

they somehow have to retrieve the money they collect. either in person at their branch or by transfer over the internet. that action is traceable. be nice to stand outside of their bank with a wmd and taget their face as they leave the building. to me that would be the equivilant of reverse psyc. ...they use internet to fool... i use old school to bring them back to reality haha.

hearingimpared

GEEZ! You are causing another thread to be considered for lock down yet again!!! Yes you have derailed and it seems the discussion has now turned from how stupidly funny these scammers are to your agenda.

I'm glad I'm not a mod here. You make it very difficult for them to keep things on track and civil. Please don't respond to this. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHAT KEN WAS SPEAKING OF WHEN HE SAID and I paraphrase, "DO YOU WANT THE CLUBHOUSE SHUT DOWN, GET IT?"

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LMAO @ How stupid do these scammers think we are!!! Now it's back on track.
