The scammers will often try to portray themselves like that, but it's far from the truth. Very often, the scammers end up getting way, way richer than you and I could ever dream to be. That's not some Robin Hood like action, that's theft, plain and simple. If they were going after those big companies and distributing the wealth in their communities, that would be one thing (in fact, the communities around them often hate them as well). But they're going after the most vulnerable and using the money to drive around in overpriced cars.

So no, I will not treat them like normal people, I will treat them like the organized criminals they are who do not stop harassing me.
