I know some one who keeps falling for those get rich scams

This time it's Zaken Liquidation Club. He's a 70 something year old man who should have his internet access revoked. I feel sorry for him because he's desperate and has no retirement money. Though the reason why he has no retirement money is because he keeps blowing it on scam artists. What pisses me off even more is that he never bothered to consult with anybody on it so when he told me he got involved with an "online business" my gut feeling is that he has fallen for another scam. Sure enough, he sent 200 dollars out for a membership fee (which he did not tell me about) and is paying 60 dollars a year for the subscription for a pre-made website to sell the junk. I'm sure that's just the tip of the ice burg as these scam artists usually push more garbage deals down their throats during the many weeks and months he's subscribed to him.

I don't know any more who to be more upset at, the naive man or the scam artist. Basically the consensus in today's world is that people think they can make an easy buck sitting at home on their asses (like everybody else, right?). Madolf did it, why can't I? Maybe it's because the hard working man is tired getting screwed over by the 5% of the population that hold all all the nations wealth. No one wants to actually work at a craft anymore, they just want to screw each other over.

Greedy god damn world. It's almost like male harmones. We get horney and make that one mistake that lasts a life time, but at least that some of those mistake pay dividends. The cruel nature of the beast.

You should scam him while the scamming is good. (KIDDING!!!)

Sounds like my wife's friend who wanted up to join Team National. Her husband is a doctor and I wondered how they could fall for it... or they just have the $2200 to blow and I don't.

Can you give me his phone #? I have some business 'opportunities' for him

I think I can help him. Just have him sign over his SS check every month, and I will make sure it doesnt happen again.

I'd actually suggest this advice in all seriousness. The guy's gotta learn somehow might as well get scammed by someone who can give the money back. Make some fake aliases and continually scam his retardass and then magically refund him. He's 70 so the alzheimers will make it even easier.

Well, its not like he can take that money with him when he dies.

lol. I feel entirely too sorry for him. I remember a couple years back he worked for a drink distributor that ran a large pyramid scam. He dressed up his car in banners and ads of the drink that he was selling. It looked like a Ben and Jerry's ice cream truck by the time he was finished.

I really think he is sick in the head. He reminds me of a compulsive gambler that always tries to win back all the money he lost even decades later.

lol. Make him your drug mule. Have a 70 year old man cross the border with 50 kilos of flower.
