This should be in the scammer sticky:

"How to be a succesfull scammer on Bitcointalk in six easy steps"

-Start with compliments to others and give gifts

-join in on threads and explain why you feel / think exactly the same as the OP, post pictures of a dog and children and claim they are yours.

-have other endorse your credentials, link your self to some succesfull business past, fake of cause.

-present your scam as; scarce, high return with no downsides don't ever answer a question with "thats a business secret" or "they have chosen to remain annonymous" just elaborate about a named partner in china and link to a website in Korea. take credit for others achivements.

-often mention people by name who have bought in to your scam and how much they are making use fake accounts if needed to get it going.

-Up yor authority by being helpful to others on the forum and endorsing people who already have a high status and credebility here

-pay return first to small amount customers, later only acccept larger long term customers

The vid is good, quinced my toes on every of the six points, as I know how easy i'm suckerd in these scenarios described.

The amount of work in scamming: You have to come into the "family zone" so peoples guards are down, be the uncle of bitcointalk. 2 years work for millions, that sounds all right!

I can only talk for myself, but those things doesn't work to persuade me in any way. As for people stupid enough to be fooled. A fool and his money is easily parted. That may sound very arrogant, but really, a lot of people losing money, have themselves to thank. I don't deny that something things happens out of the blue, but usually there are signs, and when in doubt, don't!

No no, just grab a fake pic off google of a person in a business suit and write made up profits, that's all you really need to do to scam people.

Haha, yes - and if you want to scam people in real life, make up some wild proof of current earnings, shave and wear a suit.
