In this interview Montserrat Tovar probes the mind of one of tso’s more effective scammers ? one specializing in the ?house scam.? Why does Kendra J do it? Well, you might be surprised to learn that s/he is on a mission from God?

montserrat: today i am here with kendra j, one of the fishers of alphaville. we’re going to talk about her fisher life and how she got involved with and what she thinks about it. i am so pleased to have this opportunity to speak with you ,
kendra j: thanks.
montserrat: so let’s start at the beginning: how did you get involved in being a fisher?
kendra j: well, at first i would have never thought about being a scammer, but one day i decided to change my ways to make it more fun.
montserrat: can you tell me exactly what a fisher is, for those who do not know the term?
kendra j: scammer…we use fisher for chat log purposes
montserrat: do you have, so to speak, a specialty within the scamming discipline?
kendra j: yes..i am a mastermind at the house scam
montserrat: can you explain that scam for our audience?
kendra j: i pretend im buying a house form someone, convince them ill give them the money after, then kick ban and ignore them.
montserrat: have you been successful at your chosen profession?
kendra j: very.
montserrat: what kind of income level can a person doing house scams expect to receive steadily on the average?
kendra j: 500k per scam
montserrat: do you perform a certain number per week or do you just do them as they become available
kendra j: as they come…when i feel like having fun.
montserrat: i see. what is your relationship with law enforcement and/or the mafia?
kendra j: i think mafias are stupid…ssg doesnt bother me…that?s what ignore is for
montserrat: am i correct in assuming that a person in your profession relies upon the ignore functionality within tso?
kendra j: yes…i don?t mind what they say, they are just annoying
montserrat: once you scam a person, do they have any recourse against you?
kendra j: some do…doesn?t works though
montserrat: so there is no real effective reply to scamming tso. once, for example, i lose my house to you, i am pretty much done.
kendra j: yup
montserrat: this would seem to me then, i mean aside from the issues of nice/not nice, a pretty easy way to make money.
kendra j: yup
kendra j:
montserrat: do you have any feelings about the people that you scam?
kendra j: no.
kendra j: its there own fault
kendra j: people are stupid.
montserrat: i grant you that people are morons.
montserrat: how do you approach your people
kendra j: most approach m…i act sweet and innocent
kendra j: give em a hug…ya know?
montserrat: so you go in and do a sweetyface thing and then offer to buy their place?
montserrat: how does it work?
kendra j: i go in pretending I?ve just been scammed and make them a deal
kendra j: then i say i need the house and convince them i wont scam…they hand it over and i kick ban and ignore them
montserrat: so if i run into a nice person in a newbie house screaming that they’ve just been scammed and lost all their money, that would be you.
kendra j: yes.
montserrat: ah. i think i gave you 10k once.
kendra j: really?
montserrat: yes.
kendra j: hahahha….no offense
montserrat: is fine. i have lots.
kendra j: but i mean the deals we make that are too good to be true…if people handed all there money over expecting someone they just met would double it…everyone would be poor
montserrat: again: people are morons. nonetheless, i think that you have a kind of moral problem to deal with.
montserrat: and i wonder how you approach it.
kendra j: my morals?
kendra j: like how i deal with what ive done?
montserrat: hang on a sec some mafia guy is here or something afk
montserrat: ok
montserrat: yes. how do you deal with what you’ve done. i assume that in rl you are a thoughtful person. how do you reconcile?
kendra j: umm well, it makes me happy to get anger out..im one of the nicest people ever irl…it just lets me get anger out…and have some fun…and teach people a rl lesson all at the same time
kendra j: time*
montserrat: when you scam do you see the people you are scamming as rl people?
kendra j: no.
montserrat: so when you scam, you know that you are a nice rl person but the person you are scamming is just an avatar. help me understand
kendra j: okay, you know how everything happens for a reason?
montserrat: explain it to me
kendra j: god makes everything happen for a reason
kendra j: and scamming people teaches them a lesson not to be so dumb.
montserrat: ok please let me know if i understood: i hear you saying that god is teaching people lessons through you in tso by allowing you to scam people
kendra j: yes.
montserrat: that seems like it would be a big responsibility for you. how do you decide who ought to be taught as opposed to not taught.
kendra j: people who are dumb enough to fall into my trap
kendra j: they need to be taught
montserrat: ok
montserrat: how long have you been doing this
kendra j: about 5 or 6 months
montserrat: about how many people have you scammed in that time
kendra j: lost count…around 80-100
montserrat: so you’re doing about say maybe 4-5 people a week?
kendra j: yup
montserrat: well. you’re effective.
kendra j: ypu
kendra j: yup*
montserrat: do you have any last thoughts you’d like to share with our readers?
kendra j: ummmm…let me think
kendra j: scammers are people trying to help you…don?t judge us on the surface
montserrat: ok. well thanks for your time. you’ve given me a lot of insight into the thinking of scammers. i appreciate that.
kendra j: no problem
montserrat: please come by the house anytime you’d like.
kendra j: k
montserrat: thanks, and good evening to you.
