Top 4 reasons why con games can flourish!

I love a good scam or con in the fashion of The Sting or how Jim Rockford used to exact one.

Top 4 reasons why scams flourish today.

#1 It's so easy not to look someone in the face to give them a line of bull or not have any remourse for them when you do rip them off because you don't know them personally and you won't see how your rippoff will affect them.Hence,the internet.You make a mass contact of thousands of people,you are bound to haul in a certain percentage of rubes.

#2 people are soooo pissed off that everything,everyone and everybody is getting bailed out by the government.People want a piece of the action to screw someone just for spite because scamming has been given a stamp of approval by the government. People are angry that hard work doesn't pay off anymore.The rule book hasn't just been rewritten on how to succeed ethically,it's been smashed.

#3 we have been politically correctly dumbed down where we are told it's racist of bigotted to suspect someone different than you has bad intentions even when they do.You are taught that using your 6th sense about assessing someone's character makes you a selfish angry low life cretin.There are no such things as mean bums.There are no evil people from Nigeria,just oppressed people who will work for food and such and they are just making an honest living when they contact you with unsolicited cold calls.There are no such things as bad seeds that belong to gangs.They just need a government program to educate themselves.

#4 reason.The free market has been replaced by funky socialism where there really aren't alot of legitimate ways for average people to start up a thriving business in difficult financial times because we as a country-world economy have made ourselves uncompetitive.A person with a good idea who really tries hard at it has to suffer the burden of paying through the nose with their meager profits to support the bloated failed system.Things are really restrictive with regulations etc.when you play by the book.What happens when a animal kingdom,insect hive,school of fish run out of food?They start eating their own.A person becomes ruthless where it's a dog eat dog world and it's survival of the fittest.

The best scams these days are the phone slamming scams.The friggin banks and credit card companies post their toll free numbers on the back of debit and credit cards in really tiny print.Sex lines and such will mirror those same numbers by using similar numbers that carry a huge charge. Didn't someone post a photo of a boiler room in the Caribbean that did this stuff?Why do the phone companies put up with this crap?Why isn't Obama ranting about this stuff having to come to an end?

I rattled this stuff off the top of my head so it's a typical Brentcrude rough draft abstract rant.hehe!I forgot 90% of what else I was going to say.It's summer and I live near an off road vehicle park and campground.I have 300 Andy Grannitelli's for neighbors.You would type like a half wit too.hehe!

Geesh,left out reason number 5.It's that honest but dumb and naive people are told to have so much hope and confidence by the government and Tony Robbins that they think they can will a pie in the sky scam they got sucked into to their personal fortune.Reminds me of the song,He's got high hopes by Frank Sinatra

Best possible no risk scam for an average person who has been honest and paid on time all his life is this one.Go out and get a bunch of credit cards with no annual fees.Use them very little and pay your bills on time.It gives them confidence in you.If the ship ''economy goes into abiss'' sinks,loot the cards in one day for everything you can get out of them.Take all the cash you can from the cards and then with the left over credit limit you order out of state gold where you don't have to pay sales tax.Call them on the phone and charge it on your card and drive 100 miles across the border to the dealers and pick the gold up immediately before the credit card companies see that you are bailing out with their money.Better yet,just call on your cell phone from the border 4 minutes from the dealer. Make sure you have your personal assetts cashed in ahead of time .Find a gal pal with a good track and credit record where you can go underground and put car insurance.etc.in her name.It's the grand finale of exit and checking out of society scams.Idiot punk kids on meth rob a bank with a heater and get $300 and a 20 year prison sentence when they get caught.Why do that when you can withdraw a couple hundred K from your credit cards and it's called unsecured debt.

Anyone ever get contacted by a timeshare resort where they offer you lots of neat gifts just for taking the free open house tour?Nice places but what a hassle to deal with their schemes and they are priced like The Price is Right merchandise at suggested retail price.Just show up and act very interested like you are a rube that fell off the turnip truck.They will give you the hard sell where they want an immediate decision on you purchasing the unit that day.Just say that you put a deposit on a huge motor home and now that you saw the timeshare,you want to go with that instead.You tell them you went to school with the RV dealer and you can iron out getting your deposit back but it will happen tomorrow and you can't commit to a timeshare purchase till you make sure you bow out clean from the RV purchase.They are happy and give you the prize loot and you never call them back or you hang up the phone when they pester you about buying the time share.One place in Minnesota gave me $500 in casino stay and play at an Indian casino with that tactic.
