CS:GO scammer was sent to jail!

I really hope so because scammers are inherently cowardly and useless thieves\criminals.

Well, depending on the scamming method, the victim might have been very stupid or at least naive...

So if someone tells me he got scammed by a profile with 10 reps on steamrep already, then yes he's a stupid person and responsible for his item loss. As is a person leaving his car unlocked with a notebook on the backseat.

But still in both cases I want the scammer/thief punished never the less. So the victim beeing stupid or not is in my opinion independent of my wish to get the bad person punished.

The criminals will go unpunished for a long time....as most people dont go to the police when that happens, and even when they do the chances are rather small that the one who did it will be found (or that the police actually tries to solve that case).

It's both. Scammers are doing illegal things. And people falling for scams are usually idiots...

Pff they could just eat the skins. Noobs.

Holy fuck. 0_0

Oh yes I remember one guy's mom here in the origin country of Habbo Hotel, Finland, tried to take scammer in court, but because scammer was a kid he didn't face any consequences except getting his account banned. And both of them lost their items, nothing was paid back to the victim. So gg, don't be stupid - don't get scammed.

I'm not denying that victims of theft are hurt in many ways other than physically, but prison-time is not going to undo that. In fact, it'll likely make the thief harder to rehabilitate, compared to if they served a community sentence, meaning that once they're out, more people might be hurt by them. The eye-for-an-eye mentality of punishing criminals instead of rehabilitating them, doesn't benefit society in any way; on the contrary.

As for cases where the damage is so high that it would take a thief's entire lifespan (or more) to pay it back through community work, I think it's more productive if they spend a couple of years paying back at least some of the damage, compared to the alternative: the thief wasting away in a prison cell on your money.

Photo looks like it's photoshopped which Chinese love to do, almost as much as they love to post fake news. It would be in western media news as well if someone would get arrested for scamming people. Just type: chinese scammers arrested in Google and enjoy the view. Or go to baidu and use words: 中國騙子逮捕了消息 Steam. Nothing. Yep, cause fake news.
