    The depths of human stupidity are limitless.

    I really liked the Thai website selling XP Pro for ten bucks!

    I guess id respect scammers more if they put some effort into their scams :p But c'mon, $6 to $6000 .... if that was doable, they wouldnt be telling us..... it dont take a Pscyh. Major to tell you that much.

    The only way to make $$$$ fast is to hold down the shift key and type 4 several times...

    Oriphus, you're going about it all wrong. You never know which one of these "plans" is going to be the one that makes you rich over night, so instead of putting a lot of money into 1 of them you need to put a little money into every one you find. That's what I do. 8D

    No no no, your both doing it wrong. In order to get rich quick you have to become the scammer not the scammee and make sure you passport is valid. The weather in spain is supposed to be great. lol

    lol @ Vurbal and Madbaz. It really is amazing to see how many people are stupid and fall for scams. One of the best ones is:

    Ebay - £6000 plasma screen, only £999 - send your money via Western Union money transfer and put a password on it to protect the account until u receive your plasma screen. What most dont know is that Western Union will allow you to place a password on the account, but the person who is to withdraw the money, doesnt need to use it to get it out. Therefore, you have been had hahaha

    I am surprised they asked for $6. A study done in the USA (were else) found that $5 was the max that people would send out. Too much and not that many will buy in. but what is $5, about the cost of starbucks coffee. If you make your scam too cheap, then people will think its a scam.

    The best one I liked was an ad for the universal Hanger, Hange all delicates and shoes, ete. Only $5, send it away and in the mail you got a Nail.

    There was a scam here in Oz that stated for $$$ you could cut your bills in half. What you got in the mail was a cheap set of scissors
