I guess with the millions and millions of people online there is bound to be some that are easily taken in.
They throw out the net and see how many suckers they can catch.
Younger generations should know better and it breaks my heart when an elderly person is taken advantage of.
We had such a case in this area not long ago. To their credit, local TV did a spot on the incident with the police fraud squad and they gave out many warnings

Scam - myflexjob.com or flexibleonlinejob.com is a Fraudulent Website

The website - myflexjob.com or flexibleonlinejob.com, is a total scam. Basically they tell you that you are doing data entry for companies doing free trials. They charge a $25.00 fee for a back up of storing files. They claim that it is actually free because you get 2500 point, with each point equaling $1.00, which by the way you can't redeem until you have 5000 points. You can then begin the work. The scam is that you actually are filling out the trials offers yourself using your credit card. You basically pick companies free trials and go to their websites.

99% of these come-ons would have no appeal to me even if I wasn't smart enough to see through them.
It's shocking how many of these threats are out there trolling for suckers.

 

[triumph david]

I think a a lot of the people doing these scams need to get a job somewhere and get in a better frame of mind, they are at best wasting their own time when they could be doing something else. But maybe this crime isn't as bad as another one they might get into.

Hmmm....yes.... maybe they should take up that honored profession of bank robbing, or something related, where they might get shot

No, scum like these hide in their rat holes where it's safe and prey on the innocent.
