A man, an expert of scam,
Possessed “gifts” birthed from his clan.
With an IQ higher than most,
Lived on funds scammed from his hosts.
He possessed a charm most moms would like.
He was likeable from the age of tyke.
Yet as he grew his life went awry
To create victims with financial cries.
For after draining each victim’s wealth
He moved on using online stealth.
The agent who caught him was stressed
By his fast-thinking and charming zest.
“Why did this man’s life go awry.
With his IQ, why wouldn’t he try
To use his smarts for the sake of this earth?”
Instead, he misused the “gifts” given at birth.
With all the blessings he seemed to possess
He lacked one that upended the rest -
A solid moral compass. He could not see
Past his ego and overpowering greed.

Romance Scam...
I went down that road...oh, yes i did
This beautiful woman caught my eye and my head
She wanted to love me and be her wife
She promised to move here and share my life
She talked so sweet I just didn't see
She was about to really me
I wanted to help her all that I could
We'd work it out soon, it would be good
First was phone , then nothing to eat
Then there were siblings that she had to treat?
I started to sweat, I'm getting cold feet
I told her its over
Until we meet!
I never heard again from that girl
But oh my lord she gave me a Thrill!

Pick them at random, the best way to start.
The very young or very old are easiest to part,
With the info you need to get the ball rolling.
You scare them at first and then start cajoling.
By gaining their trust and becoming their friend,
You'll get access to funds and accounts without end.
Tell them their computer's been hacked by a scammer,
Or they owe for back taxes, will be locked in the slammer;
But you're there to help and make everything right.
For a small monthly fee it will be alright.
Once you get those numbers then you're home free,
Then it's pay day already for you and for me.

His introduction is a roundabout in continuous turning
this criminal sees me as one whose deep thinking is lost
crazy assurances of converting a piece of grass to a garden
obese rewards only can be reached through a hidden maze
half evidences and my appetite slips through dark paths
it’s obvious, the trail of a scammer’s conversation stays sinuous
money, war, death, power, assistance: information in constant twisting
without harbouring greed, one cannot be trapped
wisdom cracks crookedness to put an end to this unwarranted puzzle
he’s gutted; not giving my account details was the wall.

Flashing crystal ball
Sparkling in hands
Tell me wonderful things
About my dreamy future
A wheel of fortune
Tell me numbers
Stars I should stare
Signs and symbols
In night of morning air
Best luck is right there
Endearing words!
Powerful as it seems
But I just wonder
Where do these come from?
Mind or in the deepest bottom?
Send me letters
Get my card number
Think I should know
You’re a fortune teller
A fortune scammer.

Poor lil scammer...
Poor little scammer,
ironic the twist,
you trudge into heaven,
yer not on the list,
a con man is conned ,
at the end of the day,
ironic the twist,
and it wont go away,
un-blest little misfit,
not doing ok,
just pist...

The scammer blind so it cant see,
has made its bed for eternity,
fated guts upon the heap,
of uncertainty.

Love scammer needs to cause some pain,
To fool us all and laugh again,
But it can wait another time,
Until the sensual subtle chime,
Ironic is your pain,
The subtle twist of bowel deploys,
The awful twisting fate enjoys,
The risk of playing games.

Deception in the form of lies
Untruths unknown to no bound
Deciet that becomes concrete
A snare meant to trap its prey
Unknowingly, unsuspected get caught
The wise and cunning
Will see thru what is presented
In the web some will get caught
Others will not
If it is a scam you find
Scanners like to play with your mind
