My take is that these folks are nasty but then there are folks that will do anything to make money and they do not understand or do not want to understand the consequences.
I recently did some work on a scam that was being done on a dating site.....OH lordy, stay away from those places.
I created a profile similar to two folks that were being bilked out of money. Sure enough, I was approached......they chat you up, want you to join them on other social media sites, act like your friend, tell you a story that they will be home soon and that the first person they will see is you (made my husband rather upset) and then when they think that they have their hooks in you, they request for money/gifts/etc. start. In my case for a mere $3,000 I could receive a package containing $12 Million ..........wow..
So long story short, we were able to track this one, have them arrested and stopped the insanity with two ladies in their 70s who had already shelled out over $100,000 to them (I say them as I am sure they have scripts that they work off).
So if criminals will attempt to talk little old ladies into giving them their money, I have no faith that these same people will not try to use whatever means to earn money and they have no moral fibre.
Sorry to be a little off track but I lump all these folk into the same basket.........
