It sucks that scamming is its own "industry." Right now there are buckets of people trying their darndest to separate us all from our hard-earned cash. And it's gonna be a thing for as long as it remains easy lie over the phone or on the internet. Lord have mercy on anyone out there who's getting scammed by mail. Imagine having to take a trip to buy stamps just so someone can steal your money. It's simply upsetting that it looks like scams aren't going away any time soon.

We don't want scammers to be better at what they do, but holy crap these guys are really bad at their jobs. It's a definite social good that these scammers are horrible at it, but still, it's almost sad. For more fun with scammers, here's a scammer who pretended to be a man's neighbor and another scammer who got a taste of their own medicine.
