Why are so many people asking for "fast cash"?

Question

Or fast and easy money? Don't they realize 99% of these will be scams?

Answer 1

My personal opinion, some of these people are looking for the most money available with the least amount of work.  Online fast cash schemes prey on these types of individuals.  It's basically people who want something for nothing.  The lottery scams are my favorite.  I work in a bank.  I've seen people taken for thousands of dollars because their lottery winning was a bogus check.  I asked them if they even played the lottery and the answer is always the same.  NO, but the letter looked real professional.

I also believe that some of these people who are asking for fast cash are actually the crooks themselves who post it and answer it themselves under a different name just to increase the likelyhhod of you reading it.

Answer 2

SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET DESPERATE. THIS DAY AND AGE PEOPLE ARE CONSUMERS. WE ARE MARKETING AND CONSTANTLY SELLING TO PEOPLE.

Answer 3

People always hope and dream that somehow they have stumbled on fast and easy money.  Just like the lottery - we all know the odds and yet we still try.  Gambling too.  People always have it in them that maybe they'll be "the one".

Also, the scammers have a way to make it sound real, and really easy.  They prey on the desperate, the hopeful, and the ignorant.  It's quite easy, really, especially in today's economy, and it's a God-awful shame to take advantage of people in that way.

People forget - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Answer 4

~~Desperate times mean desperate people. I pity them because they will get scammed by trying to find an easy buck. I keep trying to tell them there aren't any, but they keep on asking! I just hope they don't get burned and some of the answers I've seen sure are scammers!!!~~
