    Point in scamming? Wasting other peoples time?

    Guys, I don't get the point in joining this site, and scamming?
    People put hard work into what they do that you scam(scammers).

    I just don't get it.
    I am a big time Christian - Baptist, and couldn't see my self stealing over the internet from some random person.

    Just what if people stole from you, how would you feel?
    Explain.​

    I think this belongs in Off-topic, but Nevertheless..

    Scamming happens because its so "easy" to do. It can happen over msn, and Its not like They can Inform Authorities or anything like that, As most Payments sent to PayPals are recieved as gifts, which are non-refundable (unless it wasn't you who sent the payment).

    I think its wrong to scam, its not an enjoyful experience to be scammed, and Scammer's are just either;
    People who've been scammed before, and want revenge.
    Greedy People, for example, they own a high level RS account, sell it, recover it, and repeat.
    People with either Limited or Non-existant Morals toward human respect and trust.

    Desperation and obviously for MONEY. There is nothing better than free money. Most scammers have no remorse, so they will just keep on trying and trying to make allot of money.

    I scammed a kid once irl for yugioh cards that was all through desperation :( I would just win every game with the black hole :(

    I've been scammed $300 on Sythe.org from one very trusted user 60+ vouches I've got my money back but its still pretty pathetic.

    People get a kick out of it. Such as people giving services on your account and just drop everything. I mean what benefit is there for him really?
    Generally it's to do with money, even though the time spending trying to scam someone you could be making triple in a min wage job.

    Out of my 15+ trades here on Sythe, I finally got scammed for the first time.

    Scammers in general, waste people's time and money. Gf $10.:'(

    The reason why scammers scam people, is because they want to make full profit off of nothing with little work. The motives/reasons why scammers scam people varies, but they have one motive in common, and that is making profit.

    The point of scamming is to gain something from nothing. Greed.

    Exactly.
    People just want money, and if they're desperate.. $4 is still money.

    But you know when they are probably going to scam you when you have more trades.

    When you know, it's fun to mess around with them. ;D

    Greed isn't always the case.You don't know everyone's motives, some could be greed, some could be revenge, some could be just to pay this month's rent. It's not the same with everyone

    It's funny because a good percentage of people who posted are gonna be banned for scamming in the coming months.

    But yes it takes a real asshole to scam.
