    I often do currency exchanges. I got like 500 ppl on my messenger, and the list keeps on growing.

    I am also member of other popular currency exchange forums, and so, I am mostly aware about the reputation of the person with whom I am having an exchange.

    Now sometimes, I am well aware that the chap is a scammer, and he want to exchange with me. Now, its not necessary that he is trying to scam me .. its just that he has a nasty reputation, and has scammed quite a few persons.

    So what I would like to know is, that if you would like to scam a person, who has not harmed you, buy you are well aware that he has cheated quite a few persons.

    As an exchanger, i got a neat reputation in all the forums, so scamers do come to me, and trusts me, and they send first always ... sometimes i keep their money at hold for a few days as well... so i can easily trick them, if i want to..

    So here is the pool question - Would you like to scam a scammer :

    1. Yes - Give Reason(s)
    2. No - With your reasoning
    3. Not Sure

    Have your Say !

    Cheers!

    Robin Hood, no. Doing the same thing as a "scammer" would only puts you down on their level. Why do something negative to one person just because they may have harmed someone else?

    I would not do it because I'm better man than them and just because they scam it does not mean in need to get down to their level.

    As much as I'd want to, I wouldn't just because then I'd be categorized as a scammer also.

    Well said.. I completely agree, At the end of the day would you really feel better about yourself? You would probably be scamming the scammer's money that he stole from some other innocent individual, thus you would be the scammer.

    Although, I have to admit... it's tempting... I wouldn't scam the scammer - after all, two wrongs don't make a right. ;)

    Yep, lets get even.

    They deserve to be scammed back to know how it feels.
