scams suck. and they trap a lot of people.
some of my friends think that only “stupid people” fall for scams. the data suggests otherwise. often it is the “smart people” that fall for scams … because they can rationalize odd behavior.
Check out craigslist’s scams and fraud section for some good examples of what to avoid.

While a majority of scam victims may be stupid, scammers themselves are very bright. I’ll put more on this topic on my blog soon.

I’d love to see the data which support this view.

rapleaf is a scam. a person can put another person’s email address on any website and rapleaf puts it on this website as if it’s fact. rapleaf is a perpetrator of stalking and falsehoods. i have asked rapleaf repeatedly to send me an email verification so i can monitor my contacts, yet they fail to send it. this site is not legitimate or responsible.
