There are some real vermin masquerading as humans in this world.
SuperLib
Lock 'em up.

I'm with SuperLib -- lock them up. If the guy who started the site in question had 'no ill intent', did he give back any money he received? I'm not related in any way to the Pozner family, whom I feel extremely sorry for, but this makes me outraged all the same. I can only imagine how they must feel.

Just when I thought we could go no lower then killing so many innocent children!! Hey! Lets scam them fools who have $$$ and actually want to do something good for the victims?? Their families?? It would be nice to make this a Federal crime. Get the FBI all over this ASAP!! Real scum out there! Just makes me sick!

It's amazing that most people are thinking about how to reduce gun violence and these scumbags are thinking how to make money off of the victims.
You can't go lower than this, seriously

Ah, Capitalism at its best.
If it is not illegal, it is ok to do folks. Just be aware and do not let it take you in.

Wait, I'm confused. The article is supposedly about scam artists, but in the example they give:
So how much money did this guy scam or did he send any money received at the "address that the Pozners had never heard of" to the family? If he was a scammer, why was he urging people to donate to the United Way? If he was a scammer, wouldn't he have been more likely to direct people via text to send money to a P.O. Box?
