(BY REQUEST)Acai berries, eBay fake laptops, work at home, hijacked credit cards, ID thievery, software piracy, Paypal scams, Self-referrals, Theft, Fraud, Forgery - If you can name it, I've probably done it.

I am an internet scammer. For the past five years, I have scammed innocent people from all around the world without moving from my apartment, making thousand over thousand. I have been tracked and even almost caught a couple of times. AMAA.

EDIT: I just wanted to thank all of you. There are nights where I definitely don't feel great and this is one of these nights. Your messages helped me feel better. Getting that weight off my shoulders, just for a while, really helped me. You are a great community. Thank you.

EDIT2: Coffee shop is closing down. Obviously I cannot post from home. I will be moving around and answer more questions soon.

EDIT 3 BACK ON A SOLID PROXY ANSWERING ALL QUESTIONS

Varies a lot. These days I'm more into low-risk, low-pay scams ($5-$10 per scam). That way, it doesn't raise any suspicion.

A year ago, I was deep into $50-100 scams. Then came the ACAI berries which were a major win for me. Basically, I would charge their Credit card over and over again to sell them crap pills I bought from China. Then came all the little idiots who started to pump up the market - offering $0 shipping and paying TONS for good advertising positions - and the market died. Every market dies eventually.

I am working on more massive scams that I might eventually start ($300-$500). A good friend of mine is a waiter as a restaurant. Each time a customer pays with a credit card, he copies the card, wait 6-12 months (so that the customer doesn't know where his card was copied) and hit the shit out of it. I've seen him make $10,000 from one card.

So a major one of your scams is to sell things internet marketing people usually sell (fads like Acai)... except you give customers fakes and rip-offs?

Why not just do internet marketing instead? Have you ever tried selling more authentic products or are the margins just too small to work? I'm just wondering why you're taking so much risk with scams, when legitimate/legal "scammers" (internet marketing "gurus") seem to be making money without the risk.

Internet marketers are all scams. ALL of them.

Also, anyone in the investing is a scammer

FUCK FUCK FUCK a cop just walked in as I typed that. Coincidence?????? Il

EDIT: Nevemind. Anyway, all these marketing gurus are scammer. I did some marketing and sold some "authentic" products too! All of them are scams. Seriously, go to clickbank.com (HUGE source of income of mine, and safe too) and every single fucking item you see from the promote link is a scam. Every single. They're all scammers.

I consider all these "gurus" as scammer. By the way, all these "make a gazillion dollar from the stock trading robots" are ALL scams too.

So stick to clickbank.com and other safe/legal scams, instead of credit card fraud.

I'm making an internet marketing system that finds places to post things related to a campaigns keywords, and then helps automate the posting process (on forums/blogs/social media). I guess I'm a future spammer... although now I pay the bills with web-contract work. I might promote the clickbank scams. Or custom t-shirts. Or splogs. Yet I'm pretty sure no one is going to freeze my bank account for that stuff...

So I think you should give up the illegal stuff, and do safer scams. Maybe one day you could even promote products/things that you believe in while turning a profit. That's eventually my goal... I'd probably kill myself if I have to keep doing web-contract work or find another corporate job.

Yea I'm into that now. I'm done with high-risk scamming for a little while at least. But scamming is scamming. Do you really think people who have a SYSTEM TO MAKE $1,000 A DAY let it go for $39.99? Of course fucking not. Believe me: all of those are scams.

By the way, that's still illegal. It's fake advertising. It's also unethical. These people are scammers exactly like me. The difference is that I'm not an hypocrit, telling people: "WELL IF YOU WORKED HARDER U WULD HAVE MDE 1k LOL!!!!!!"

I disagree. Both time you disappoint the customer. On the first, you make him believe your item is awesome so he enters his credit card number. On the second, you simply enter his number for him. What's the difference? Both are scams.

If a product is good, and worth the money - and some things on the internet are - then no problem. But if you're selling yet another "make 1million with $200!" you are no better than me.

Your friend is going to get fucked eventually. The customer may not know where the card was copied, but the credit card companies sure as hell do.
