Trump Univ Litigious Grifters, Nigerian Princes, MyPillow Fleecers and the Bernard Made-offs. Looks

to be another great season in the good old International Bunco League.

Young con-men (and con-women!) are emboldened by having one of their own as President. It just shows that a career in the Bunco Arts is a noble and worthwhile profession.

Regardless of who wins this year's Bunco Cup, these young flim-flammers will be out in the real world ripping off the elderly, suing everyone in sight and taking advantage of marks and pigeons all around the world very soon.

Thanks to whoever came up with the name Litigious Grifters. It's the perfect name if Trump University really was a school for the Bunco Arts that competed with other flim-flamm organizations. Apologies if MyPillow isn't a scam- the fleecers is just too good of a name to pass up.

Any other good scammers to add to the league?

Sometimes I draw them out by seeming to go along.

Most times I just tell them "I have a Mac" and just hang up.
