The 10 most skilled probably never made this list. They didn't get caught.

When my phone comes up with scam likely, . I will answer with "Police Department, fraud division". The speed that they hang up with is hilarious.

Anyone who rips off the elderly, , , , should really be ashamed of themselves, , I was always taught to respect my elders, , and I have went out of my way several times to help them as everyone should, , , most of us will live a long life and will grow old one day, , , I believe in Karma and hope that I one day will have the respect I've given over the years....be well everyone and.have a great life....

I love watching "Scammers Payback". Him and a group of others from around the world, get on the phone with scammers, pretend to be old people and rather than the scammer getting money, these heroes go on the scammers PCs, and delete all of their list of potential victims files. They sometimes are able to call the victims before they're scammed. And, they pass a lot of the info to the feds.

We had one in our building six months ago who conned almost everyone in the building, including myself. Before she got put out six months ago, she stole an elderly woman's pain meds, and key fob, and once the landlord caught her on camera, she was forced to bring the fob, or go to jail, and told her next time she step foot on property again, she's going to jail.

I'm a senior and have cancer. After paying a man who does home repair $500 he did a bit of work then never returned. When we called him he told the police to "take me to court". I'm afraid of pressing charges because this man is dangerous and has a criminal record. Didn't find that out until after the money was given to him though. His so called company is called Sunny Brite out of Fostoria Ohio.

I find it hard to believe that a two time loser could possibly be considered one of the most skilled con artists.

Good luck to the artist, his work looks fantastic!.

About 5 years ago, my ex- boyfriend's sister pawned their deceased mother's gold chain in order to give money to some emailing scammer who said he had a substantial amount of money in trust, and needed her money to help get his funds out of trust. I still cannot believe that she fell for that shit!!!

I got a couple of those IRS phone calls, didn't believe it for a min. But for a second when somebody says you may go to jail kind of throws you off.

Yup I've been conned when I tried selling something online, I felt something was off but said to myself that I shouldn't be so suspicious of everyone and I really needed to sell the item...should've listened to my gut.

I wish there were more people in the world who accepted they're family as who they truly are.❤️

Did Pedro really think that was going to work in the long run??!?!?!

[danmimis]

I was called by the "IRS" scammer: heavy Indian accent, which was pretty stupid since it was a recording threatening you with prison if you don't call a 1-800 number to "fix the problem" -- why didn't he hire an American do to the recording in perfect American English?! Unprofessional scam and still plenty of people fell for it, unbelievable!

First, they aren't the recent most skilled Con Artists since they got caught.
Second, someone who murders is not a Con Artist. That guy was just a serial killer.
And third, there is a reason why some of these were called scammers. That is because they were scammers not Con Artists.

The crooked agent scam is as old as the movies. I'm surprised anyone still falls for that. You NEVER pay an agent money. They work on commision.

Why did that gun (M1911) Have a stick mag and a Co2 Tank?

#10, if you're stupid enough to believe a pretty woman simply because she's pretty, you deserve to have your assets relieved from your possession... 🙄

As a deaf and blind as well as developmentally disabled these were fairly common to me thinks to my "natural" reliance on the internet. :(

This is why I try to be more careful and seek to understand as much as possible what they are doing for me/what to purchase. Thus far it's working to some extent at least.
