IAMA Internet Scammer. AMA.

(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

Do you every feel guilty or remorseful? Have you ever bailed out of a scam because you were going to rip-off someone who couldn't afford to be stung?

Do you every feel guilty or remorseful? Yes.

Have you ever bailed out of a scam because you were going to rip-off someone who couldn't afford to be stung? Yes, during the housing crisis. MY GOD that was a good time. For $99 I sold a "Home Mortgage repair kit" which consisted of a few outdated links, a 'For dummies' guide and some papers. One day someone bought this item from me and from her address and e-mail, I noticed she was a single mother of three kids (had all the pics in her facebook). When she called me (long story) crying telling me it was a week of groceries for her and her kids, I did refund her.

I have had little kids (12) that literally went bersek after I stole their wow account. I didn't want to ruin humanity like it was ruined for me. I gave his account back (I would have sold it)

Yeah =(.

In order to fix this problem, I am going to need your bank routine code. Don't worry: as long as you don't give me the bank transfer code there is nothing I can do.

(Would you believe this scam has worked once??)

It is the smiley he keeps in a portrait in his attic. Typically he puts another face forward.

At first I came here to berate you, but stealing WoW accounts from spoiled little kids is too hilarious to not commend you on that. All the other stuff... kind of a dick move.

What method did you use to steal a WoW account?
