This is what I hate, so many scams prey on people who are desperate or otherwise already in hard times. Scamming someone who doesn't have a roof over their head, or is elderly and lives off a small social security income, or needs a job to afford food... that shit is the lowest of lows.

I guess if you scam rich people you're more likely to be caught.
