Comment on How not to design a CAPTCHAparent

Comments

Scam does not imply malice.

Usually scammers treat their victims as customers and wish them well.

In this particular example it was combination of technical incompetence [not being able to deliver proper CAPTCHA] with scam [of getting paid for project that did not deliver on promise].

Ehm, a scam with good intentions? Come on, are you a Nigerian prince?

Scammers are like parasites. They take from their victims, but aside from that they want their victims to be well.
