The guilt of being a scammer would drive me crazy.

I don't really judge most scammers, it's hard to without knowing their personal situation, a lot of scammers are desperate, living in poverty in some shithole, scamming idiots is how they feed their families.

But taking advantage of kind peoples empathy with "sick kid" scams like that is sick.

romance scammers I got nothing against them they just take from stupid lonely people who choose to be stupid and lonely instead of going outside.

Exploiting people's stupidity is one thing but exploiting people's humanity and kindness.

Makes me sick just thinking about it.

A scammer is always a thief, and I can only empathize with someone stealing food when hungry. Romance scammers are thieves, but usually, they aren't hungry

Most people who fall for romance scams deserve to be scanned.

They aren't good people, they're usually just stupid and horny.

People who send money to sick kids or animal shelters or whatever else like that, these are good kind people who do so out of empathy.

That's the difference.

And majority of the scammers are hungry, that's why they end up working for those gangs that organise the scams.

They don't have the opportunities to pursue better careers.

No, not stupid and horny. Loving, supportive, hard working, trusting. Wanted to help her 'bf' take a 'business' off the ground, got scammed for 20K she took as a loan from her parents.

Sorry to hear it, Nix. No one deserves to be deceived

I see nothing justifiable about romance scammers. Our au pair from years ago got scammed like that. A wonderful person full of love made suicidal by some complete asshole. There should be a special place in hell for such people.
