Don't you fucking dare.
Give me one example of a scam where the scammé don't have control.
And whether or not you get mugged is still within some of your control. You might notice the footsteps, or look behind you, then either run or fight. Or the mugger comes from in front of you, which also leaves you able to run or fight.
Also, scam according to Merriam Webster: A dishonest way to make money by deceiving people.
The gun example is them being threatened, not scammed. The person was forced to give up the money under threat. They didn't give the thief the money because they wanted to.
Honestly, I don't really think that this and the Pikachu picture are the same.
Trust me, i'll find you and i'll......give you a cookie because i hate you for this rule 34. ^^
How come that Chaos is suddenly getting credit for an image I found?
