"It makes me sad to scam but I must get money to feed my family"
Never, ever believe a scammer - Even when they admit they are a scammer
Many times when a scammer is busted by someone, they will either get very mean and
threatening or they will take the "poor me" approach which is also a scam attempt to
try and get more money. This is what Pepe Limo is doing in conversation #1 below
when a lady got him to admit he was a scammer.
But in conversation #2, he is bragging to his scammer friend about money he has just
received from a victim. The two terms the scammers use are padi which
means hookup or referral and Maga, often referred to as Mugu
meaning "fool" but also sometimes referred to as daddy riches for male victims or suga
momma for female victims.
Pepe playing the poor scammer - #1
Pepe Limo: Honey am not who i say i am
Pig Busters: who are you really?
Pepe Limo: Don't know how to tell you this
Pig Busters: just tell me because I have a pretty good idea
Pepe Limo: Am a scam
Pig Busters: please I paid enough to get that much from you
Pepe Limo: Well i'm only doing this cos we are very poor and i can't afford to school here
Pepe Limo: I don't care if i get reported and get caught cos i do deserve it.
Pepe Limo: did it cos wanted to support my family

Ibrahim Adekunle Oladapo: what site is best for scamming
Pepe Limo: all sites are good just find the right victims with money...LOL
Try not to get so wrapped up in a picture of someone that you ignore inconsistencies, flags and warning signs
