Can we conclude that the world is raising con artists?

People fake their social media.
They buy followers...
They make fake dating profiles...
When you meet them in person they keep this game of charades up in an attempt to continue with the mess that is their lies...
I hope they start penalising these fraudsters...

Yes there is. The world always had con artists. And the things you described are not the worse things that a con artist can do.

[lilyanony1]

It's the starting point

[menina]

Yeah

@lilyanony1 - did you fail high school sweetie?

This is nothing new. Far from it. Why do you think some of the most successful people in the world are the biggest shitsters that live? Bill Gates only became famous because they say he stole ideas from junior employees. Is that not a con artist?

Try to educate yourself. The only thing that's new is social media and the means of doing such things. Beyond that, it's been going on for centuries.

Yes, I agree with you and I get so tired of the Cat Fish online it's not good but it happens

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for MHO :)

Some things never really change. The modality may change, but the greed remains!

Not con artists. We are raising folk with no self confidence, who mistakenly think that nonsense is the same as being liked by others.

it's nothing new... Liars have always been around...

[Zolly99999]

OMG... I couldn't agree more !!!

[dailyoctopus94]

The world has always produced con artists.

[lilyanony1]

But the everyday common con man is on the rise, it used to be "business men" and chancers...
Society doesn't do well when we say things like "we have always had them" it makes it acceptable.
