scam

If you find some nice boots on amazon for 3 dollars, you should half expect to get a picture of boots mailed to your house. This stuff is either ridiculously small, a completely shoddy version of what was advertised, or just something totally different entirely. For some more amazon shenanigans, here are some fantastically funny and creative reviews.

The unfortunate thing about most scammer trolling stories is that even though the scammer might waste some time or look like an idiot, they're never really punished for their malicious behavior. This time around, the scammer gets the tables turned on him and actually loses something out of the deal. Oh, the call is recorded too. The real action happens near the end of the recording.

Hunter Nelson is the villain in this stomach-turning tale, centered on the disappearance and potential passing of a beautiful dog named, Ollie, who never had a say in the matter. What happened here, and the shadow tactics at play to hide from the truth, is humanity at its very worst. The texts from the "dog trainer" show every sign of one twisted scam. 

Sometimes, it's easier to will ourselves into believing a blatant lie, cause it's just that--easier. Unpacking and deconstructing a lie (scam), can be exhaustive, require effort, and very little at that; but, it does. Without it, we can find ourselves in the middle of getting forked around by a pyramid scheme we set out to play into with the best of personal intentions; without knowing what was actually happening. 

The irritable pyramid schemer caught this woman on a bad day, and she was more than ready to shut them down with cold, hard facts. 5-star response here. Beautiful work, really. 

This TIFU story is definitely not the cashier's fault. There's no way they could have seen through their customer's smooth talking, especially being a new employee. I hope they didn't get punished for this! 

Seems super legit. This guy could've missed out on his next great love. 

Imagine the gall it must take to be the type of person who thinks they can just ask a stranger for 200 dollars over a dating app. It must be nice. Until their selfishness gets outed.

Dear God it's like trying to deal with Comcast.

But wait there's a terribly unexpected twist in this ridiculous tale...
