Had one pop up on IM, gave it some...um..er... unfriendly career advice. The problem is, most likely that person's quality of life is so far below anything I would find acceptable, they didn't need me making it worse.


So...

Show kindness to those in lack?


Or tell'em to go smoke some pole?

Burn em at the stake.

I dont care how poor they are and most of them are career swindlers.

IMO the love scammers are the worst,so I'm really not bothered if they die of thirst.They could have spent their internet money on water.

Personally why waste the energy?. I choose to ignore them if you ignore they can affect you. It takes more energy to get wound up about them...............I don't like to waste my energycool

Even if they make good money, imagine their lives?

If they are so void of compassion as to be ok with what they do, no one will love them...ever, and if they posses compassion, the guilt must border on unbearable.

I often ignore them too, the IM was a new approach for me.

So I wanted to see how it played out.






It was 10 minute conversation, but it go me thinking.

What's the definition of a scammer?
Is it that attention-seeking kind of twat who follows you around more and more the more you make it clear they bore you to death, and then when you ask them to just leave you alone, they shout to the world “look, he’s following me around, feel sorry for me, world!”

Exactly, Tina.

I feel the same way about communicating with scammers. I value my time and energy.

Though couple of times I did play their little game with them, not getting wound up or anything. They were funny as hell, I was bored ... dunno Had my share of good laughs.

But a general rule of mine - block, ignore, delete.

Latest figures say that 50% of Nigeria's national income is based on scams.I think that should be reason enough to get an international boycot on them by the UN.Since many government officials are also involved.Too bad for the innocent people but that could be said for lots of countries.

Rod I fail to comprehend how people fall for such scams..........is it desperation, wanting to be needed, the fantasy of what might be?


God knows................I protect what is mine *raises sword in air* before I believe what anyone has to say too me.

My possesions, My life, you want to have the shit to bring too it.

Before i was inexperienced, i can't tell scammers from normal people .
When i learn tips and can tell who is scammer , it was just too late.........i feel cheated and hurt .The asshole has already spoilt my lifevery mad
So for the very scammer, i wish i would beat him to death if somehow i find him.......
For others, just joke with them and then report them

thumbs up

Tina, in numerous "Scammer" threads I said so many times the same exact thing -

one has to be an awfully lazy and greedy for easy money themselves to fall for such scams.
