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
There are many reasons why people scam and the biggest contributor to these reasons is "Poverty". People are desperate for money because they need it to feed themselves or the people they care for. Money can make a person feel empowered and at the same time desperate that is why some people who are doing scam will do anything just to have it in any possible way, whether it is through good or bad deed as long as they feed their desire for money then it does not matter if they would affect others. Now adays, people who are greedy tend to utilize the internet world and do scamming, they take advantage of other people's hard earned income for them to get an easy money.
