I think scam artists are awesome. Tell me some scam stories.

Arrogant people deserve to be scammed. Stupid people, while frustrating, cannot be blamed for their stupidity. They just don't think right, they don't have ethe capabilities.
Many times old people are scammed because of their diminished capacities. I think scammers should be kneecapped.

agreed

How about people who have "legit" jobs at tobacco companies? Those cancer sticks kill more people than scammers do...should we kneecap the secretary who works in human resources while she's answering her phone? How about the people who deny the elderly proper medical coverage at insurance companies? Should we kneecap the guy who cleans the toilets? Scammers exploit weakness and ignorance to make money. So do marketing companies. What's the difference?

The thing I love about scam stories is I can apply the same concept to another idea. Keep 'em comin.

The thing about cigarrettes:
Close the factories. Period. They should be made illegal.
Smokers choose to smoke. Their fault.
Second hand smoke victims should be able to sue the smoker they live with.
IMO it comes down to choices. Government allows smoking, even though it is unhealthy & a huge drain on insurance & medical resources, beccause they want the tax money.
People choose to smoke. Too bad, so sad, you lose!

Well...some schmuck set up a bogus mining company and scammed his shareholders for like $250 Million....and his shareholders think it's because the market is corrupt..

While the former CEO dumps millions at Vegas casinos...

In the end..the guy had zero mining claims
