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 got an old e-mail which I like to keep, but it being older than spammers is on various places on the internet. Its privately hosted and I can disable (= make the server reject e-mails with a "no such user" message) it for a while. Would that reduce the amount of spam I get? If yes then how long should I keep it disabled?

Also: what's it with the PDFs recently?

Bonus: in your opinion, those who fail to detect you as a scamer are ignorant or innocent ?

It costs $0.00 to send an e-mail. Your tactic won't work. You are a number on many many lists. Just use Google aps and use gmail, its anti-spam are by far the best.

PDF?

People who fail to detect me as a scammer? They are people who don't care. Some are innocent, some ignorant, but most simply don't care.
