      What Defines a Scam

      A scam isn’t always a system in which the scammer is the only beneficiary, while the person being scammed gets nothing. While those scams are the most well known, they’re also the most likely to be shut down for being predatory.

      The scams that stick around are the ones that give the victim just enough to keep them around and happy, while finding the most efficient path to the motherlode. These scams only work because all too often we have no idea what we’re worth. Scammers find a need, then find other people who’ll fill that need while both sides direct all the money back to them.
