I sat next to one at work, he was pretending to do IT work for our company, but 80% of the time he was creating scam websites. He got bored of them pretty quick, and would come up with another idea. He loved his Cookie Stuffing, used to make a fair bit doing that with eBay, until eventually they'd ban him and he'd have to start up again.
He easily had enough skills to be making decent money doing something honest, but that wasn't it, he enjoyed scamming, scamming was his hobby, he gained some kind of perverse satisfaction from scamming. They say this about certain thieves (not the ones who do it to feed their families), it doesn't matter how much money they have, they get a buzz out of stealing, that's the real reason they do it, it's like a drug addiction
