The Art of A Scam

[jeffrey]

I was hired over e-mail. A boss I never met promised me $14,000 a month. How could I fall for that?

This is the story in which you learn how a graduate of Columbia Law School—that’s me—and almost 80 other people, who really should have known better, got suckered into giving away all our personal details as well as up to two months of our lives for “jobs” that never actually existed. And then you learn why it all happened the way it did.

That's exactly the same thing I thought after reading it. The author should try selling this story to a movie studio.
