  • I was going to send a copy to my mother in law, but I'd just get called up tomorrow asking if I knew anyone that was offerings scams 7,8,12, and 14 because they sound like great opportunities.

  • I wonder if the same thing that happens to Manny in this show would happen to me….or would i become the ultimate scam artist.

  • I thought this was a book that teaches you how to scam…disappointed !!

  • finally a free online book thats worth reading!! ;-)

  • Awesome. More pie for me
    Now that you guys are all fooled into thinking that these opportunities listed are scams

  • So, I don't understand how giving away my tax file number can result in identity theft….it's just a number(passport and drivers license, I understand as it's got your full REAL name(unless you somehow registered a fake?? - is that even possible to resgister for either with fake details and thus you will receive them with completely fake information in which case it's safe to give to scammers as it as no lead up to you whatsoever?) and all that jizzjazz….)……and if you google it, it comes up with nothing….only way to make sense of it is if you have access to the the ATO somehow, through a backdoor or something and then confirm/verify it with them….

    For ransomware, besides backup up daily/weekly or even hourly too, is there a way to somehow connect these back-up devices that you can access but NOT the ransomware? I heard adding a place to the favourites works according to a poster on some forum that I forgot now….he said something like "until ransomeware is able to overcome this, this is the only way I am kept safe, besides backing up, whilst still having access to something that it cannot access and therefore cannot do any harm; just make sure said backup device has no association drive letter to it…."

    Can someone with ransomware test this out for me? Or maybe confirm this?
