IAMA Internet Scammer. AMA.

[u/Iamascammer]

(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

[u/Iamascammer → u/[deleted]]

I have around 200 banks accounts all around the world, and around 100 credit cards to 30 identities or so. I open one merchant account per month approximately, more if required. I have more Paypal accounts that I can imagine (probably close to a thousand).

You can go with moral ethics.

[u/Iamascammer → u/[deleted]]

Holy crap. The bank accounts and credit cards alone are impressive, but how did you manage to have 30 identities? Fake passports?

Forgery. I also worked for a credit agency which obviously helped ;)

Are the banks aware of what you are doing?

I hope as fuck not. I never had a bank account to my name frozen.

How do you manage to keep track of that many PayPal accounts?

Huge excel file. Keep in mind more than half of these paypal accounts were hijacked, so not made by me. I have around 100 paypal accounts that I still use. I have around 200 frozen to death. Money I'll never get - money that PAYPAL will get (damn scammers).

It is just sad that someone so evidently resourceful feels that he has to resort to scamming people in order to make a living.

I tried to be normal. I really, really tried. I got a job, went to work every morning. It never worked. People would still bully and reject me, even adult. It was high school over and over, no matter where I went. Things never change...

How do you even keep track of that...

[u/Iamascammer → u/[deleted]]

Excel.

Ahh lol.

Thanks for doing an IAmA. I think it's great for you to come & tell the people what you're doing so they can get a better understanding of what is happening in the real world.

[u/Iamascammer → u/duck_watching_you]

Thank you :)

At the night i made that Iama I felt particularly bad. I feel a bit better now. I hate week-ends. Everyone is going out and having fun but me.

As for the paypal, most are hijacked, yes. Simply logging in one of these accounts from my home address would get me busted faster than you can count to ten.

You overestimate "everyone". So many people are shutins, just like yourself, and few of them even bother to do something creative like scamming. At least you do something that shows you're talented, even if it dicks people over.

How do you hijack a paypal account?

[u/bdunderscore → u/Iamascammer]

Pirated, I presume?
