The older I get the more I tend towards blaming the people being scammed for being stupid enough to be scammed.
$35 Apple watch, really?? You thought that was real?? Well boy do I have an exiled African prince to introduce you to!
Why yes, I am a bridge salesman!
Would you be interested in buying an airport?
Is it $35??
I can give you a discount if you buy an aircraft carrier too!
While we're here, take a look at this little vial. Actual tears of the Holy Madonna Herself, the Blessed Virgin Mary. One sip will heal all maladies.
$20.
Ah yes, there's a really interesting bridge in Lake Havasu Arizona, could you get me a price?
About tree fiddy
Wait this ain’t no bridge salesman
Idk, this new generation is growing up without games like RuneScape and EvE. I don't know where they're supposed to learn about scams like we all did.
Hey, runescape is still going strong friend
I got scammed on trade wars as a kid. Saddest day of my young life. Taught me a lesson about Internet security though.
