For as long as poverty exists, never. Maybe not even then. Some scammers do what they do just for the heck of it.
Exactly.. As Alfred the Butler so wisely told Bruce, "Some people just wanna see the world burn"
But well frankly, Most scammers are the usual smart people who have no conscience and enough greed for easy money to take advantage of innocents. I always wonder that how do these people live with themselves after knowing that they may have potentially wrecked lives.
