I scammed a dude out of $50 and used the money to take my mom out to eat.
Why did you scam money from him?
I was broke and wanted to buy a meal for my mom.
It's nice that you wanted to do something for your mom but there is no excuse for scamming someone. Next time find a legitimate source of money.
It felt good scamming the guy though.
It might have felt good for you but for him, he's most likely upset about it. What if he was going to use the money to do something nice for someone like you?
