I know. I know. Some of it is very serious. I am just a bit brassed off with casual comments I sometimes hear.
I also want to know a lot more when I hear someone use the S word. If the woman concerned is living in squalor and wearing charity shop clothes, I definitely want to know more before I would use the S word.
To me, Scammer = On the Make = Personal Gain.
If the party concerned wants loads of money from her partner (?) to help others that may also be "a very bad thing" but I insist that we invent a new word....
