Tsunami scams beset Internet

By Chris BakerTHE WASHINGTON TIMES

Internet scammers have pounced on the outpouring of good will toward the victims of the Asian tsunami in their latest scheme to con people out of their money. Fake fund-raising messages have landed in the e-mail boxes of Internet users in the United States and other countries since the Dec. 26 catastrophe. Some of the messages appear to be direct appeals from the survivors; others are made to look as if they came from the organizations assisting the victims.

Ok, I give up.
How much of a bottom feeder do you need to be to do the above?

Can you get any lower and not be considered a bad excuse for yogurt gone bad? What next, getting on the ‘telly’ and getting poor people to send you money for prayer towels? Like that could ever happen.

I watched a clown from Pittsburgh being hauled off by the cops who had started one of the first scams involving tsunami disaster. He, of course having the IQ of pond scum, was caught after he made about $120.00. He commented that everybody needs money, so what was the big deal? Well, that explains it.

I get the fact there are ‘con guys’, I just don’t get why they aren’t SHOT (out of general principle.) I’m thinking if you have the balls to scam old folks and people, who are just trying to do the right thing, you have time to share afore mentioned balls with a large angry man in prison. I could be wrong, but I don’t care.

We have a local car dealer in town that is notorious for having a group of sales folks who target seniors. It is a rare deal when you go in and pay full price at a dealership, let alone all the “extra protection” for said purchase. But this dealer has it down to a fine science, no discounts or low interest rates for these folks. Full price and undercoating to boot...

The price of success often comes without a conscience.

But, hey, what do I know?
