A very simple idea about "scam calls". Why do we get so many of them?

[Stuart G]

Just 2 words... THEY WORK.!!!


...If these kind of calls didn't work, then we would not get any. Scammers know that a large percent will not work. Chances are, those with a lot of experience, know the approximate percent. But if scams did not work some of the time, to get easy money, (even though it is against the law) then experienced people would try something else that gets people's money.

...Not only do these scams work, but the scammers know that if the number of successful people who get scammed are kept down, then very few scammers get caught. Scammers are greedy assholes, and they want..MORE, AND MORE, AND MORE. !!!!!

...So, many go on, and on, and on..and get caught. We read about them. So and so scammed 25,000 and got 4 to 5 million dollars. Those are the ones who get caught. The ones who get away, we do not read about. And some get away because the scams get some money from lots of people, and often people do not report that they have been scammed with some deal or idea that was too good to be true.

..So..IF it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true.
