What is a scrammer?

Answer 1

A scrammer is a term coined by Jim Carver to denote a class of people that are lower than the slime molds. We know that spammers are those that use the internet to push their marginal wares on persons without having any maketing knowhow. These persons have no native intelligence and probably got their computer from Joe down the street. Joe set it up for our genius and probably installed a version of windows 98, saying "if it's good enough for me, then it's probably over your head, too". But, later that night cousin Optout came over and presented genius with some pirated software he had stolen off the net the day before. "You know, genius, I think you could use this, if ya know how to run it, bein' that your outta job anyways". So he began using up bandwidth and people's hard drives to no end, but there was the paycheck and genius could buy that gismo that he had always wanted. Well, ok, this fictional account illistrates what I mean, but, enter the world of the scammer. He is a calculating dude. Much smarter than our genius above. He takes his tricks out of the annuals of con and downright deceit. Any methods are okay as long as he gets what he wants. (You can substituent he for she, I just write it this way to make it easier). And one day, he meets the spammer. So, spammer+scammer =scrammer. OK, that's it folks. Please don't edit this for content.
