This is a link post I'm in the wrong job
Quite old, but hopefully not GC.

Guy gets scammed by Magicky Spelle Casteres.

Cue pages and pages of similar stories from others willing to pay thousands of dollars for spells to be cast to repair broken relationships.

I don't know if I feel sorry for them or just .. :o

This is a normal post I want to feel sorry for them.
I really want to.

However, another part of me wants to put all their names on the 'Too Stupid To Live' list, to be referred to when I'm finally dictator of the world.

This is a normal post these people are simply too stupid to live
and clearly too stupid to realise that if they called their credit card company they could "charge back" the payment and not lose any money at all

This is a normal post To be fair
A lot of them seem to have paid by Western Union, hence no charge backs.

Paying for intangible goods by non-traceable funds transfer, though, reinforces your point!

This is a normal post Why feel sorry for them
stupidity to that degree deserves nothing but belly laughs.

This is a normal post the thing that made me chuckle the most
were the people describing how many more thousands of dollars they lost after being fleeced for the second time!

I wonder if there's a legal way of doing this? Presumably you can get away with it if they're just paying for a 'magic spell' rather than results?

EDIT: Just had a look on some spellcasting websites and they charge postage costs! Bwah? How does that work?!
Maybe i should set up a magic beans shop...

This is a normal post Here's something you don't see every day
www.psyforums.com is down.

The reason? "Due to major threats from a group of spell casters and psychics, the board will take a timeout."

This is a normal post Good lord!!
Just when you think modern human stupidity has reached it's limits, along comes something that makes you realise gullibility is still alive and well...

This is a normal post Hahahaha
The funniest thing is a lot of them are saying, 'I've been scammed by this guy and that guy, can anyone recommend someone reliable I can throw my money at instead?'

I do feel genuinely sorry for them as they're obviously vulnerable people, but really...
