How could you scam me?

Although a scammer has reached a point of complete desperation or simply no ethical standards; this article is written to challenge their thought processes, or maybe give the community a link to send them upon being hurt financially by a scammer.
Excerpt
Allow me to be the guy to reach out and ask you what you are doing with your life. Has your life really come to a point in which you must steal money from other people to make a living? What about the living they are trying to make through ethical values and honest work? What about your own morals and ethics about your personal character? Re-evaluate yourself and your life, and let me assure you that these instances do come back around and make your life more miserable than it already is
There are No Shortcuts in Life
All too often, members of the community (or simply the world), are on a hunt for a shortcut in every aspect of reality. Whether this be cheating on your assignments, cheating in professional sports, or with relevance: scamming members for quick cash. With each dollar a scammer receives I wish they would recognize the time and effort that another member actually instilled to earn it.
Stealing is Stealing
Christian, Catholic, Atheist; Stealing is Stealing. You do not need to be an expert or defined to a religion to understand that one human is just as human to yourself. "I was teaching them a lesson", "If they are that stupid they deserve to be scammed", "This world is dog eat dog"; are not true values and rather just an inferior state of mind that you happen to currently be in. Please recognize that: Lessons can be taught in a more ethical manner... not through suffering. Knowledge can be shared without taking something away. And maybe the world is Dog eat Dog because you perceive it that way; or people like you encourage it?
Are you not afraid of when it is your turn?
Let us take 2 people. Person A has just shared an entire tutorial on the forum, and refunded a member $300 because of a problem they were experiencing in real life. Person B just leaked an entire tutorial on the forum, and scammed a member for $300 despite a problem they were experiencing in real life. Do we truly feel that both of these members are on the same playing ground of what will come their way? God or not, there is definitely residing fate/karma that will eventually complete the circle. Or.. is it that if someone's life is miserable enough to scam in the first place; they have already received the punishment they deserve.
Coping with Being Scammed
After being scammed it is likely we want to DOX that person and set their entire home on fire. Would this save other members from being scammed (likely), but would it really prove the ethical behavior you wish this world would express (not at all). So how do we cope with being scammed $20? How do we cope with being scammed over $300? As a "non-stupid" member who has been in both of these scenarios I usually take it as a learning lesson. It is not that you are an idiot, it is simply the risk you take when purchasing online. First thing first, do not hate yourself; just improve! As an ethical person, I view my own personal loss as an investment to save other members. Because of my suffrage, hopefully another member will not be scammed as I was due to the report that is no open. And as for seeking your revenge, just rest in the fact that if a persons life is at the point of stealing, scamming, committing fraud, etc; I doubt they walk around with a smile on their face like you can. Hold your head up and let the world do its thing. Trust that in regards to religion or not, those who do right will be treated right; and those who do wrong will be treated wrong
I wish you all exactly what you deserve,
