Honestly I think these yahooze guys are just mere crooks and perverts who derive unnecessary pleasure in misleading and defrauding others :-[.
Basically, the time these people spend online cooking up and developing various fraudulent techniques to defraud unsuspecting individuals is more than enough to build their own legal and profitable empires on net. Based on this I really do not think they do it because of poverty but because of their natural drive to swindle others.
House what do you think about this? :-\
