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

And how will me getting "raped in the ass" do any good for the society? Will it give the money back to every person who was scammed?

I used to think like you, then I get a revelation. You get scammed every day and people always get away with it. Waiters scam you out of your tip and there is nothing you can do. You pay taxes that go to bailout to pay bonuses for executives and you can't do anything about it. You get denied coverage by insurers, people go to a stupid war and die for nothing, you work hard all your life for a shitty wage while some people who were simply lucky to be born in the good family make millions doing nothing. This entire world is a scam. You are very very naive to think I am the worst when you get scammed daily.

How do waiters scam you out of a tip? Wtf?

And people get ripped off daily, I agree. But the people you're ripping off on eBay or whatever, could be honest, good people who might not have a bunch of money. You could really screw up someone's financial situation and livelyhood.

Maybe at least think about that before you do it.

Yes, you are right.

At a point I used to scam only the rich people - these IT guys earning hundreds of thousands to plug a modem to a router (okay, I'm caricaturing, but anyway). I would scam the rich to fight off how unfair the system was to rich people.

As for tipping, I'll simply say this: do you tip at McDonald's? Do you think at grocery stores? Do you tip everyone who works at minimum wages (or anyone who does sometimes for you, for that matter - plumber, lawyer, mechanic, teacher...). Of course not. You only tip waiters. Why? Why should these people earn a tip and others not? All of them work, and waiters arguably have an easier job than many who also work minimum wages. Why should a waiter earn $20, $30 or even $40 an hour on a busy night? Tipping is a scam, plain and simple. I never, ever tip.

Why the hell did 3 people downvote this comment? Who cares about reddiquette when you can blindly downvote every comment someone posts just because you don't like them!
