    I think a majority of scammers, or at least I'd hope that, don't actually ENJOY scamming people. Only that the money is SO LUCRATIVE and the risk is so relatively loe, that they kinda CAN'T take it. They got bills to pay and whatnot. It sucks, and they should be punished, but I totally understand it tbh.

    • @jonsweeney4347
      @jonsweeney4347 Год назад +32

      From what I've seen and heard from people that run these scams, they feel that the marks deserve it somehow for not understanding its a scam. That, or in the case the scam being run is the kind where the mark thinks theyre commiting a minor crime themselves, see themselves as punishment for people who only PRETEND to be moral but will commit a crime if they think they can get away with it.

    I think the title of this video could really use being edited to "I talked to a former scammer" because some of these comments are already getting really nasty and making some bad assumptions, I feel like they haven't watched the video at all. Dude has come far and it's what matters most to me (I obviously do not approve of scamming people but it's not my place to "forgive him or not" when it's the past, and he has already punished himself hard, he'll probably deal with more consequences as time goes on I don't wanna add to that. Some of y'all think so lowly of human lives and "criminals"...)

    I always kinda thought of scammers that way. Yeah, some of them are shitheads, but a lot of them don't necessarily want to. It pays the bills, and when you're in a tight spot like that, beggars can't always be choosers. I'd be lying if I said scamming people for expensive rolex watches sounded more appealing than flipping burgers at mcdonalds. You SHOULDN'T scam people, but money really talks sometimes.
