Getting a job is not possible for everyone, not everyone has family or [friends] to help them and sometimes they will make the bad situations even worse them. If you've ever really needed money and were very desperate, than you probably know that people would let you starve to death rather than give you $5.
It's weird how people won't toss out just a few dollars to help someone in need, yet they'll spend $10000 or more on their pet that has an average life span of under 5 years.
But then again, if you give the person in need money, they'll keep coming back for it. It's a real crap shoot
Why people scam? It is because they carried away from the people by just telling the truth but it is not a truth but a lie and they are trusting wrong people around them and not hearing someone's advice.
Some people who really doesn't have enough knowledge with the product or services that they are entering are really sometimes just joining or just go with the flow without further investigating about the product that they are entering to especially when their friend earn from it they are easily encouraged.
