Are you a scammer?

Are you a scammer?

I really need to ask this question since we are all vehemently against obtaining by tricks.

People lie to get out of speeding tickets. Others lie to get out of work early or not show up at all. How about those who lie to get airplane upgrade? What's up with that; and even get rewarded for this scam. Or perhaps it's not a scam after all, the seats would have been empty anyway so why not occupy it and enjoy the perks free of charge.

Alert! Lying on your website, aka knowingly making false representations, aka intentionally embellishing the truth, aka purposely making empty promises, are all scams.

I've heard of people lying to get ahead. I'm not talking about falsifying a college degree on your resume to land a dream job. That's plain dumb because it's easily verifiable. Although people get away with it, but not for long. The truth does catch up, one way or another.
On a personal or may be even professional note, have you heard of something called "justifiable lie"? Lying to get out of any kind of trouble......
