I feel genuinely bad for people who fall victim to scams. Maybe I'm just too soft :P

everyone in the world has one but nobody uses them...

I like to fall for my own get rich quick schemes.

not these pre-canned ones.

What's sad is that people actually spend their life savings on some of these cons. I had a friend who quit his job that paid 80,000 yearly where he got 6 weeks of vaction a year, excellent benefits, and an easy job for a job that promised pay of "up to" 350,000 a year.

He currently works at Subway as a "Sandwich Artist".

The problem is everyone wants to be rich at some point in their life,so these scams pray on those people. I woke from my informerical nightmare after Matt tricked me.

 

[CashforStash]

This makes me laugh.

Not all of these "internet scams" are selling get-rich-quick. If you click the link, you will notice themes that prey on the retired, civic-minded, and poor as well.
