Sitting here watching this new show called "Scammers" on History Channel, I CANNOT believe they are airing this stuff.

The cons these guys pull is SICK!

Honestly, they're are teaching people "how to" pull-off con jobs!

While, I could never do what they do, how many idiots are gonna go out an try pulling this stuff off after watching how to do it on TV?

WOW! -What have we succumb to?

PS- I can't change the channel though.

    No...that would be begging and pan handling, not conning and scamming...LOL

    These guys handed a guy a $10 usb (masked as a Mercedes key) to an an exotic car owner, while posing as buyer's of his Porsche. After 5 minutes of 'buttering up' the seller (of the Porsche Carrera GT) the owner handed over the keys so the potential buyer (thief) could test drive it... *again, in exchange for a fake Mercedes key...

    BYE BYE Porsche!

    Porsche thief turns the corner hands off the 'real' Mercedes key to a waiting co-criminal, he then drives away a minute later in the collateral car. Brutalizing the Porsche owners mind!

    The Apple iPad for $300 was something wicked too! ($300 cash in 10 minutes!) -SICK

    PS- I imagine the justification for airing the show is to "educate victims to be more aware" - Yet sumfin's telling me...there's gonna be a rash of copy-cat criminals attempting this stuff.

    Not me of course.
