I thought inmates were horrible people, but compared to scammers, I’m starting to wonder.
A while back, I posted about my brother being diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia at the end of March. I’ve also shared pieces of my own life online—losing my dog, writing about trauma, trying to survive hard things the best I can.
Today, a scammer emailed me using all of it.
They referenced my brother. My dog. My books. My trauma.
And honestly? That made me stop and think: what kind of person does that?
So here’s my rant.
To the scammer who wrote that email—you pissed me off. Like seriously!
You really think using someone’s pain is going to manipulate them into trusting you? Into giving you money? Into giving you access to their life? That right there tells me everything I need to know about you.
You picked the wrong person.
I’ve sat across from people who tortured and mutilated other human beings without remorse. I’ve worked with men who took lives and slept just fine afterward. If I can sit in front of someone responsible for more than twenty-one plus deaths, I can handle you.
So let me give you some advice:
Get off your ass and get a real job. Make your mama proud.
Because if this is your contribution to society—terrorizing vulnerable people, targeting grieving families, manipulating authors and artists—then you’re wasting your life.
And trust me, prison isn’t the fantasy people think it is. I’ve heard the stories from inmates. I’ve seen the aftermath.
The more I think about it, maybe you changed your game up because people like Pierogi started making your life miserable. Good.
I could say I hope the same pain happens to you, but I’m too kind for that.
What I do hope is that one day you find an actual purpose in life.
Because karma is a bitch. And remember: what goes around comes around. It may not happen now, but eventually it will.
Do yourself a favor—live your life the way you want your obituary to read. Make an impact. A good impact.
And before you harass another person who’s already struggling, ask yourself one question: Is this really who you wanted to become?
On a side note, to those who want to see what happens when you mess with the wrong person, go watch Spammer Payback on YouTube. Watching Pierogi make scammers miserable is honestly a pretty good time.
