So, Do BHW Scammers Actually Make Any Money?

[toml3030]

Well, considering that in scam threads there are scammer who have have been verified to have stolen tens of thousands of dollars, I would say scamming is like every money making endeavor where 10% make most of the money, 20% make some, and the rest fail.

I just look to see how stupid people are paying $97 a month to access information and tools on a forum.

I think for most people it's the chance to sell as well as give back to the forum. Without donations it would not be able to run and you wouldn't be able to read any free information. (It's 97/year btw )

I see scamming as a means of making money in the short term. Then there's also money to be made at people trying to scam.

Wonderful contribution to the thread, Roy!

What the fuck man?

LOL just trying to be positive! STAY ALERT! Don't get scammed!

Does this apply to your shady sales thread where you're selling a $5k business for $26k? Serious question.

Why is that shady? I just made a mistake in valuation. A mistake is done by everyone. I'm fixing it mate, new thread will be up soon!

It's not about making mistakes, but fixing and learning form the ones you make. Made a wrong valuation, I'm going to fix it!

I thought it was shady because it wasn't until someone publicly said your business for sale was way overpriced that you decided to back peddle and lower the price. Shady=/=fraudulent.

If you're going to lower the price then all the power to you. Most people would ignore it and try to find any sucker willing to send the money over.

Believe man, I'm not here to scam anyone.

I just made a wrong valuation in my business by only taking into account my revenue and not focusing on the profit as everyone (or most companies) work.

New thread should be up in 24-48 hours or as long as mods take

This post wasn't meant to be personal. If you have an issue, take it up with the Mods, or Roy directly. No need to air this nonsense on an open thread.

Ask ceosam or Charles Floate a. K. A the pedophile

This guy is hilarious

It worked out just fine. Rolls Roy got to publicly say he's lowering the price and made an honest mistake, and I got an answer to a serious question. We all get gold stars, participation trophies and a handful of chicken tendies.

Right, but that wasn't the context of the original thread by OP. Slap me silly, but I think it's important to keep the train on the tracks. If you have a beef (regardless of him openly admitting wrongdoing), keep it private or take it up in a "Shitlist" thread.

I do like chicken tendies though. Honey mustard...umm

Sometimes I wonder why people actually scam because... You leave yourself with a guilty conscience why you spend the damn cash..... your mind will never be at rest, so why the fraud?
Also, it takes lots of mental energy to scam someone because some people are difficult to get, I then reason that if such time was invested into something meaningful, you'll both help someone and also get that money you are looking for.
Scammers are living a life of Great fear because any fingerprint found from them will be a disaster in the end sometimes even death, so why to take ALL those risks when you can do far better stuff with your time???

For those scamming IM guys, well, like someone mentioned, scammers will always scam, Don't just fall prey to their sh**t

They are more like hopeless losers who are just trying to be more useless to people around (OH not just useless but menacing anybody that crosses their way)

 

[BassTrackerBoats]

They don't actually make money from their scamming, they steal money.

 

[Sombrero]

Making money and stealing is not the same. Look what happened to Bernard Madoff, he was making MILLIONS

 

[Floopa75]

There's still an appropriate place to discuss these things, and this thread is not that place.

That being said, I've made my share of mistakes on BHW too.

Don't act like what you asked is a question that people are only going to answer yes or no to. Look at my replies to Roy, they are easy to read and level headed. I wanted an answer to a question and I got it. This sort of thing happens in the real world every second big boy. It's over, leave it be.

We have different ideas for the context of this thread, but if you like chicken tendies AND honey mustard then I won't sit here and argue. Your gold star looks nice as well.

Trade the "M" with a "B".. lol.

Gold star? Huh?
