If your stupid to fall for the scams, you deserve what you get! You must live on Mars to not have heard of these scams!

I get tons of emails from scammers from *****ia at work all the time. I just forward them to the RCMP fraud unit.

I dont feel sorry for these people at all.

If this loser didnt have shit for brains then he wouldnt be putting his family through such embarassment and agony. Is there people that STILL believe this shit?? Wow...

Dateline, 60 Minutes... all those shows always have shows on this kind of stuff. You must be living under a rock. I am still.. in awe at the sheer stupidty.

For shits n' giggles...
There are people on the other side of the fence that SCAM the *****ian scams LOL

Its not like these scams are anything new, they've been around for a while and there have been articles and reports done on them, as well as a website dedicated to pranking these scammers.

If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

That really sucks.

Although this story wasn't based in *****ia, it's all about how a guy scammed a scammer. It's called the PowerBook scam. It's a long read but still so funny how the tables were turned.

Oh and the guy's an idiot...just sucks he had to learn the hard way...

[omalak]

I am not sorry for him at all.. COMMON SENSE people!!!:loco

Hope he does find a way out of this problem though...

Maybe thats how these scams work... One guy gets scammed... then the scammer does the same thing and scams someone else :chuckle

Watch out for a white guy pretending to be *****ian...

[Go_Habs_Go]

the sad part is that his uncle and parents went along with the whole thing? WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!! I can almost understand/forgive a 22 year old kid with limited exposure to the a$$holes out there in the world getting caught up with this, but for both his parents and his uncle to also go along with it without asking any questions?!?! That is unforgiveable...

HOLY CRAP. i didnt really read the name. ive met this guy a few times lol. i remember that name well. ahahahahaha

[Mazda3X2]

I am surprised that with all the publicity these scams get that there are people left to fall for them.

Scams like this pray on the ignorant. And if this story is true they found the perfect sucker. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Unlike those "penis" enlargement pills you get emails for. They work!
