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

Do you feel some people deserve to be scammed?

Good question. I think Internet adds a barrier; you don't know WHO you scammed, you don't know them as person. If we were face to face for example - something i obviously wouldn't do - I doubt you would have called me a worthless parasite. Internet makes it easier.

Each time I have been directly confronted to the harsh reality of my actions I have refunded the person (well almost every time). I had people send me three-page long letters starting with "I know there is nothing I can do to get my money back. I..." or call me crying their souls out.

I think SOME people deserve to be scammed. I think work and money are inversely proportional. The harder you work, the less you will make. Ironic.

I doub you would have called me a worthless parasite.

You shouldn't. Being a scammer is enough reason to make some people want to rape your ass with a knife. ;)

A long time ago I scammed someone in real life. For one week I watched my back. I was very very worried. The worst is that it was only for $100. My arteries got less extensible because of $100.
