Not to be a capitalist pig but even under capitalism in the USA that is just fraud.

Most people have no ability or funds for recourse and justice. It's just going to be a SOL moment.

My friend has a slumlord next to him doing this, he's charging $250 per application and rejecting everyone. So my friend is renting his spare room to his last tenant and thinking about suing. Fucks up the neighborhood.

I did 97 meth deals ($45 each).

That's $4365 in passive income.

I don't even have any meth and just gave them sugar crystals.

[-] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 day ago

yeah, that's not passive income

[-] josefo@leminal.space 23 points 1 day ago

What if I could earn a passive income by scamming scammers? It would be morally correct?

Yes but they have the funds and connections to absolutely nail you to a cross.

[-] LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

If they can get enough of them before getting caught it could balance itself out though

I’m just giving a helpful warning. If you have a plan that will work, I think you have a duty to enact it.

"I have passive income" is literally just "I run online scams".

This is no different from people in places like india doing phone call scams.

We also sometimes have to pay "pet rent", and no this does not cover pet damages.
