There is nothing quite like thinking you're being a reasonable stepmom, posting your anecdote on Reddit, and then finding out you were so completely wrong.

It was effective.

It's good to double check.

And the internet weighed in.

This Lyft customer forgot their phone in the car. It happens,. You'd think that it would be a pretty easy issue to resolve, but that's where things got complicated. In a situation where it could have cost nothing to do the right thing, this guy decided to lie his way into a phone hostage situation. And this person wasn't going to let it happen. For some more scammers not getting what they want, here's the scammer who pretended to be a CEO and then got trolled like mad.

"If you don't like the way we do things here, you can leave." ...OK

What a brilliant idea.

Woops.

When our phones just don't work for us.

The files are in the computer.

We're talking 28 calls a second.

Oh boy, he dodged a bullet.

Don't defy The Goat.
