16 Year Old Boy Figures Out How To Rip Off Sex Offenders, Get Rich

[tannybogus]

A teenage boy in Sweden has it all figured out: he can make a quick killing ripping off online perverts utilizing the same methods cops use to bust predators: posing as a gateway to underage girls.
Except sometimes dumb people actually report him to the police...
1) The boy advertised the services of young women, who would pose for paying customers on webcams should the customers fork over their bank accounts and, for no apparent reason, their access codes. Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of idiots who actually agreed.
2) Here's the best part: the unnamed boy then decided to double-punk their punk asses, writing from a separate account that he was a police investigator and that there had been some suspicious, sex offense-related activity on each customer's account. The customer was then asked to once again hand over his (or her?) bank info-- again, with the access code-- so the "investigator" could check for nefarious activity. Why anyone at this point would not have learned to not hand over their info, we'll never understand. Why ever would anyone give someone they think is a cop, who e-mails them, their bank info so a cop can go and confirm that, yes, they have paid for underage girls to strip for them... well, that's just beyond us. (Perhaps they thought the girls were really 18? Even so: idiots.)
3) The boy makes off, this time, with about ten grand U.S. from his devoted fanbase.
4) We're not sure how it happened, but somebody must have tipped the police off, again risking their own arrest ("Hello, headquarters? Yeah, you're gonna love this... got a guy here who says he was trying to buy a subscription to a website that claims to have underage girls doing live peep shows. His money was taken by some kid who's laughing his ass off with me now. What do you wanna do with him? No, not that kid... the guy who got caught trying to watch underage strip shows?")
5) Anyway, the kid got 80 hours of community service even though he was convicted on ten counts of fraud. We're guessing the judge secretly wanted to just pat him on the back and turn him loose...

1. what a rackett

[zbdent]

2. thousands of freeptards are kicking themselves ...

saying "there goes my money ..."

on edit, he would have made more money from the freepturds if he was honest about being a young boy ...

[Toucano]

4. Freepers prefer underage boys to underage girls?

I didn't realize that.

Is that because we don't like them, so they must be homosexual or repressed homosexuals?

[Robb]

9. Pedophiles who prefer boys

...are NOT homosexuals. They are pedophiles.

[Toucano]

13. Don't be daft. n-t

[KittyWampus]

23. you can be both a pedophile and a homosexual. Edit- it's a given that homosexuality does NOT equal

pedophile, of course.

[Robb]

24. Eh, that's the point I was trying to make

And you actually made it. :)

10. nevermind...nt

3. I'm sorry, even though I know what he did was a crime, I can't stop laughing my ass off.

That kid must have some nerve. Man, from the sentence he got, the judge must have felt the same way. Although I don't know if it's a good thing for society that he's already so creative with scamming people out of money at his age though. Even if there is relatively no sympathy for his victims this time.

6. Makes it the near-perfect crime

Scamming the deeves. Hard to get caught + sympathy frome the authorities = crime sometimes pays!

Let's hope that he absorbed that lesson and leaves the rest of us alone.

[Mike Nelson]

5. LOL!

NBC is probably meeting ASAP about how to turn it into a TV show!

7. Ripping off mentally ill individuals

There's a rewarding hobby.

[Tarc]

8. For some reason I don't feel much sympathy for pedophiles

who get ripped off trying to pursue their fetish. If you want to, be my guest.

[pokerfan]

15. Where does it say that they were pedophiles?

Wasn't he posing as young women?

(Perhaps they thought the girls were really 18? Even so: idiots.)

[RaleighNCDUer]

14. yeah, well, there's the right kind of mental illness and there's the

wrong kind.

Sociopathic criminality is the right kind. Pedophilia is the wrong kind.

[wtmusic]

16. I hear you

There is a large contingent of supposedly-progressive DUers who go looking for the lynch rope when it comes to the subject of pedophiles.

Baiting them is kinda fun - they're even easier to catch than pedophiles.

[Zuiderelle]

11. Kids these days.

:rofl:

[cobalt1999]

12. LOL

Good for him. The "victims" in this case deserve whatever someone does to them.

[Marr]

17. There goes the future Prime Minister of Sweden.

[girl gone mad]

18. Better this kid got their money..

than some organized sex trafficking ring that pimps out children.

[CreekDog]

19. i heard he had a conference call

:rofl: :hide:

20. Sorry, I don't find identity fraud funny no matter what is the

reason behind it.

[unapatriciated]

21. I agree we had it done to us a while back and it was no fun.

Some idiot went into a bank in another state armed with our personal info and wiped out our checking and savings.

There was a string of identity thefts in Atlanta they think it was a downtown restaurant that compromised several peoples accounts

Maybe the wife of one of these guys tipped off the police when she went to pay their mortgage and their account was empty.

Theft is theft and should not be glorified.

[closeupready]

22. I agree. And making light of it sends a message that, if you can get away with it, good for you.

I don't think that's the right message to send. He committed fraud, and has probably messed up his life. And I doubt if he explains to curious people in the future that, "oh, it was okay, because I was robbing these sickos", they will understand any better.
