I know a lot about scams, don't ask why but I do.
Most of the time the scammer is not making money in the way you think they are- they are pretending to scam people, acting rich, then trying to bring in rich assholes who think they are clever.
Some guy is running a rubbish disposal scam by illegally storing rubber tires.
He claims to be part of the local mafia and claims to be rich.
You see him making thousands every day- but really he isn't.
What he can make illegally disposing tires is a pittance.
What he can trick YOU into investing is a thousand times more.
He convinces you to buy a piece of land for more than it's worth from the mafia, tells you it's how you pay off the mafia for the illegal dumping and this is why you can't "go it alone".
You buy the land and he vanishes, you lost $50,000 on the land and can make $50 a day illegally dumping car tires on it until you are caught.
Often "scammers" aren't scammers at all- they simply pretend to be for the sake of their own ego- 90% of the time these people are clinical narcissists.
Regardless of whther they actually have a scam or not, like gamblers their motivation is entirely ego driven.
If you are serious about beign a con artist- consider if you yourself are simply trying to inflate your ego, gain self awareness.
Sometimes "scammers" are actually other criminals- typically rapists.
They are trying to lure someone into a difficult situation simply to physically rape them.
There is no financial gain in the scam, it's simply to compromise a series of people to discourage them reporting having been raped.
It's very common to trick young women into running drugs that are of no real value, simply to get them to turn up alone at an apartment at 3AM.
I have seen a tremendous amount of ugliness in the world, don't be a part of it.
