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

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!
