Thursday Extra Post: Stupid People

So---I just finished reading an article in the Washington Post about a bunch of check scams, where people were getting scammed out of their money. At first, I was like, "wow, that sucks for them." But then I continued to read the article. I've come to realize that the people who got involved with these scams were inthemselves, stupid. This one lady got a "job" as an international money courier (yeah, that doesn't sound sketchy) and she was supposed to get checks in the mail made out to this "organization" that helped "rebuild homes in destitute areas" and then deposit them into her OWN bank and then wire money out the next day to random countries like Nigeria, Canada and Ukraine. Keep in mind that this woman thought she had gotten a great deal b/c she was "getting" 7% of each check she gets. This lady is so stupid. Hello, a random company asking you to deposit random checks into your own account and then wire them as fast as possible to random 3rd world countries? She deserves to be scammed.

People are so stupid. I think it is smart for the scammers to prey on all the dumbasses. Like, how could a red flag NOT gone up for this lady?
