Why do you think people scam?

That does not even make sense

y not?

 

Because if they scammed they’ll just get banned..

 

There can be alot of reasons,
For example, if someone thinks they left their card details on the account

 

Easy money with no consequence, other then your account being banned.

 

Because their house burnt down as a result of an argument with their mother's sister's babysitter's son's assistant principal's hamster. Also because people don't care about consequences online.

cough Trustmysomething cough

 

Scamming is just so sad to do.

As everyone above has said, no in real life repercussions, quick easy $$, not old enough to realize the true harm it does to people

 

i think it has to do mostly with greed and maturity. Everyone is born with some sort of moral compass, and as you get older, the compass gets more calibrated.

Most of the scammers on here are pretty young, which means they never had the chance to know the difference between wrong and right (for the most part) and its a joke to them. There's no guilt left behind when you don't have a person to match the guilt to. This is why their moral compass is 'broken' in a sense, because they literally haven't grown the hell up.

They don't know who they are scamming irl. Just another person online to a scammer - plus no legal consequences

I guess some people just want quick and easy money and don't see that in the long run that they can make more money if they were legit and just built up a service... It's such a disgusting and psychopathic thing to do and it's hard to understand exactly why people do it

I think it's super easy for certain people to scam over the internet because they can cut all ties with whom ever they scammed and not have to think too much about repercussions. One day they will scam the wrong person and karma will catch up.

To be honest I think scamming is so rampant here because these kids think that they are just winning on a game. They don't view it as stealing like at a store. To them it's like killing people in the wilderness of RS for their stuff. That's why I think most scammers are teenagers, they haven't grown up and realized the value of money and the damage they do and how not worth it, it really is to scam people.

This and because people are selfish assholes.

 

We're all pricks, every last one of us.

I find it really funny how many people commenting in this thread are now banned lol.

People just see easy money and don't think of the person on the other end being affected. It's sad.
