Scammers, being scammed??

[Colin]

The person who stole the photo had already been caught out as a scammer but it just goes to show how easy it is for someone to steal other peoples photos just to scam people.

There are Filipinos out there giving Filipinos a bad name which is sad

True enough, but it does not clear the damage done to the innocent victim, whose only sin was to post a photo or two on the internet.

That is true of every nation, not only Filipinos.

The vast majority of people tend to tar everyone with the same brush, without making allowances.

There are, undoubtlely, many, many nice Nigerians, or real honest russian brides but generally we dismiss them authomatically as scammers, because after many yaers of hearing horror stories we have become conditioned to it.

I'm not a sacmmer honestly...btw, my neighbour has $40M that he can't access without a $5,000 downpayment. If anyone would like to give me their bank details and a payment of $5,000 i promise to give them 50% of the $40M when the money clears. Any takers?
