Dude it is seriously unbelievable how many hacks/scams there are in Bitcoin.
And also do people think stealing other's money is going to make them happy or their life better?!
What is wrong with people these days...

True enough. But can't blame this one on anybody but myself for this FUBAR. Be sure to check and re-check that whatever addy your sending BTC too for long term storage has a private key which is under your control exclusively.
