I've been watching a couple of interesting shows:
The Real Hustle and Real Life Scam - http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRealHustleA3M
It got me to wondering if you guys have ever conned, scammed, exploited or manipulated someone in some way. Or if it's ever happened to you. I'm interested to hear your real life stories, if you have any to share.
This is not a dick measuring contest, but if you feel the need to brag or boast, don't hold back.
I met this girl who was in a car acident when she was younger and her mother died in the wreck, there was a lawsuit and she got a lot of money and a monthly check, That was given to her when she turned 18, I met her when she was 19 at a party, her face was still fucked up from the wreck the rest of her body was good, so i started talking to her and that is when I learned the story about what happened to her and her mom, and about the money. So of course being who I am I started to date her. because her face being fucked up she didnt get many chances to go on dates. long story short i worked her for a while tell she bought me a truck and some odds and ends, Then I took as much money out of her acount as I could and packed my shit and left.
I only really do those sorts of things out of self-defense (most of the time anyway). I mostly try to control what information is and isn't said when and where to lead to specifically tailored outcomes. I had to use it to get back at someone who managed to get to me first. It's not always fun to see what we're capable of when we feel cornered, but it's nice knowing I'm capable when it's needed.
Manipulation for me however is more about maintaining status quo, having fun, or garnering influence. I don't like change, some people just make it too tempting to avoid, and leverage is typically a safe thing to have.
I'm no badass, I just try to make my life a little easier than it'd be otherwise using the tools I have.
I read it perfectly well but I don't play into scams and I have enough sense to recognize them when they appear, maybe you do not. I have never been scammed so I have no experience to share in that area that was the question. Maybe you don't comprehend like I said I hate stupid people they are irritating think before you speak.
I hope you're a puppet of someone else.
She's asking about times YOU have scammed or manipulated someone. Is it that difficult to get? Since you have typed mostly about how much you detest stupid people I suggest you look in the mirror and see the first person you should have on your list.
Or tell the world about you, and ruin your relationship with your family.
