15 Dumb internet scams that people fall for

5. Online Funding Sites

Some of these are scams, and some of them are just pathetic people trying to get you to give them money. Either way, don’t do it. Back in the old days begging for money from strangers was thought of as kind of lame. Not anymore. Now it is as normal as apple pie to ask people you have never met for money. Again, there are two types of these things. The first is an outright scam, where someone asks for money because their daughter has a rare type of cancer. The only problem is, they made the whole thing up. The other type is the person that asks for something that is real, but is totally lame. Do you really care if some random chick from Arkansas can make it to Las Vegas for her best friend’s wedding? I don’t.
