Do those who get scammed on facebook deserve it? Personally, I think it is hilarious.

Why make it easy though ....why put you life on line for al to see.....

MWAH

I'm not very good at acronyms ...they are just impossible too weed :(

Have you done you're sums yet.....Miss'is still waiting whilst tapping her "Foot" angrily. :(

Just cry UNCLE. If you can't work it out...:(   

I think I have. It's what you say it is because YOU SAID SO. And women are NEVER wrong. Final answer.

I'm thinking about the new Facebook feature allowing "crowd funding".
I've seen people use it asking others to help fund their birthday party or vacation.  LOL

Well other sites have had that for a while and it would not be a scam since contributions would be voluntary. 

Just because they're voluntary doesn't mean they aren't a scam.
After all, nobody has to give money to those Nigerian emails (or wherever they're from, now).
Scam = dishonest scheme, fraud, swindle.

Now, there are 2 things that could make the difference between those requests being legit and a scam.
1 - They don't use the money for what they claim to be asking.  EG: They say it's for medical care, but use it to party.
2 - The story they tell is a lie.  EG: I can't afford a vacation because I had to pay my child's emergency medical care for cancer, and we had a trip planned for Disneyland and now our family can't go.

  Hey, wait a minute!  You're talking about me, aren't you? Grrrrrrrr.

If people are stupid enough to contribute money to someone they don't know, they deserve to be scammed.

  I know, right?  Hey, wait . . . every April 15th,

LOL ...

Some people are more vulnerable than others. Being trusting, naive or even not as smart as others does not deserve to be taken advantage of.

I'm sorry, but I can't feel sorry for someone who contributes to the birthday party of someone they don't know.  Yes, there are scams that prey on the most vulnerable and those are deplorable. 

You know, my mom had a big heart. She wasn't stupid yet she often contributed to causes that I knew to be questionable. She felt good about helping people even if she didn't know them. I guess I look at other people the way I looked at my own mother.

We see things a bit differently.  I don't think a birthday party is sufficient reason to help someone out.  Now, if you said it's due to illness or death to bury someone, maybe I could see that, but not a birthday party.

You deserve a spanking for that one. Don't move; I'll be right over. 

I HATE such as GoFundMe..............internet begging.  Gag!

I have never been scammed here.

That's good. BTW, thanks for sending the cash to get me home from Europe after all my cash and documents were stolen.

I saw that on the news today. That's what spawned my question.
