but, you'd be surprised. one of my friends who's pretty smart and business savvy almost fell for the pajeet walmart scam. i was actually shocked. he said he was even on the way to walmart to get the money order while on the phone with the jeet. luckily, he had his cousin in the passenger seat and the cousin, while listening to my friend's responses to the pajeet, was like "what the fuck are you doing? hang up!". proceeded to talk some sense into my friend. funny thing, my friend actually had a thing going with the IRS over $60k and thought this was about that.
after realizing how he almost got scammed, he got so pissed, he called the pajeet back and had like an hour long conversation with him trying to persuade the pajeet to stop doing these scams. the pajeet was actually very honest and said he didn't like doing this, but he had to feed his family and these scams were paying the bills.
That's another critical element to their scams. They cast a wide net. So you get a ton of calls that are seemingly obviously scams because they aren't relevant to you at the moment, but since they are sending the same thing to everyone, it's only a matter of time before one hits you that is just relevant enough to lend legitimacy.
Perhaps you happen to be having a dispute with your electric company, or the IRS. Or perhaps you ordered something online and it happens to be running late in transit, when you get an odd text message saying your USPS package had been damaged and you need to click a link to resolve the issue.
>he had to feed his family and these scams were paying the bills.
A lot of the time this is a lie that they know many Americans will eat up. And, even when it's true, it's still obviously wrong. It is not right to steal, even to feed your own family. *Especially* when you're stealing from individuals. A lot of these jeets convince themselves that all Americans are well-off and dumb and deserve to be scammed.
