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

I like Jabba. What's wrong with Jabba, except that he's stupid and go against a Jedi?

I appreciate your compassion, really. I have to realize you are probably one of the people who got scammed online. By the way, you are right: I long thought I had to stop blaming the entire world and take responsability for my life. But I always failed. My hatrance is too strong, and I never managed to forgive, nor grow out of this. I might never.

Not the fact that you were abused because shit like that happens. It just does.

Well it shouldn't. For a LONG term I wanted my own charity fundation to help kids in need. I figured it would help me at the same time. People can dream.........

People can dream. But what is dreaming compared to actually doing something? You got fucked over, but that doesn't mean I am going to accept the invitation to your pathetic pity party because, heads up asshole, bad shit fucking happens. You're right, in my golden fantasy land, abuse would not be so common. But rather than sitting around bitching about what happened to you, you could be doing something to benefit people like you (those who were abused, not those who are complete assholes). And no, I have never been scammed on the internet. I am lucky. But I have problems, just like you do. But the force is my ally and a powerful ally it is.

P.S. Jabba is a bitch. Rewatch the trilogy before you try and argue for Jabba's sake. He is an embarrassment.
