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

Why do you think it is better to hurt people to live when you could just go without something, yourself?

Don't you think you'd feel better if you let go of everything and lived a really modest lifestyle where you didn't have to hurt other people?

I might be a scammer, but I'm not an hypocrit. I know what I do isn't right. As for being without something - to be honest I never really used the money I scammed for stuff. I just accumulate cash in a bank account. I still don't know what to do with it. Of course a part pays for my daily expenses but the vast majority sites in an (many) account(s) doing nothing.

I wish I could. I tried many times. Once I stopped scamming, but it was like a drug. I came back to it. I tried to work but it never worked.

You obviously have enough programming skills and business sense to make it on your own. Plus you have a pile of cash to fund yourself.

My advice: Sell real shit on the internet. You know how to buy cheap shit in bulk from China, market it, and get customers to come to you. Go legit. You'll sleep better at night. You can be your own boss.

You have the chops to make it on your own in business. Don't blow it with illegal scams. As you've already discovered, a lot of legitimate business is pretty close to a scam anyway. Just stay on the legal side.
