Why is it that every other week some stranger comes on here asking someone to deposit money for them. Is the Nigerian heir to the thrown scam not working any more?

"Yah you complete stranger on the web, I'll loan you some money. Not sure how much you need? Ah. Well, don't worry I'll just give you all my bank and credit card details. No really, it's ok. I know I can I trust you, complete stranger on the web."

Really...wtf?

The funny part is that some people actually *do* fall for it. Why else would they keep coming up with these otherwise laughable scams?

Too lazy to find the hh, but the other day at 2/4 a beggar railbird posts a long hard luck story and just needing a $5 "loan". All the regs ignore him of course, but the 60/30/1 table fish says, man, I've been exactly where you are before and transfers him $10. The railbird drools all over himself thanking the fish in chat.

I really wanted to type FISH OF COURSE YOU'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE, AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE THERE AGAIN AFTER YOU GO ALL-IN PRE WITH T8s. But instead I typed, "nice guy!"
