Feeding your greed is always a key to a scam....., greed can override common sense.
Dumbass. Yeah if I legitimately find 150,000 the first thing im gonna do is call over 2 fucking strangers to share in my windfall.
Yeah if you find money you want as few people to know as you can. Who calls over a THIRD person and then goes to the JOB to tell their BOSS about it and then let the BOSS set some rules. If anything I'd told the woman yeah it's my wallet and then the to leave with it...lol
Greed is a bitch. Although the majority of us wouldn't fall for that silly scam we're still vulunerable to quick money scams.
There's a certain mega-thread on this site where you see it being played out every day.

.....I've seen so many different opinions on that
I assume he's referring to the Bitcoin thread.
This reminds me of the scam they pulled in the opening scene of the old movie "The Sting" starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman.
First of all...
This is literally the oldest trick in the book. Someone got scammed by this a few years ago around here. Same bit, but they knew someone inside of a store or something and were going to get "clean bills" from them. The only reason people are running this bit again is that folks have forgotten about it.
I remember my dad talking about someone trying to get him like this when I was a kid. They couldn't scam him because 1) he didn't really care about taking someone else's money and 2) he couldn't get them to make sense out of why he needed to put money into an envelope if there was already money there. I think he said the dudes even commented on it right before they gave up.
The main thing to remember to keep from being scammed is: "You will never have to give money to get money." If money is legally owed to you, then they have to give it to you some kinda way. No payment up front. If someone needs you to deposit their check to produce alternate funds... that's laundering. It ain't legal, and it puts you on the line if their check ain't good. You better make sure it clears first. And so on...

I was about to say, that only works on greedy people....
Im a born and bread new yorker, they tried to get a me a couple of times and failed..
the first time some cat came up to me and showed me a wallet full of cash and said he needed me to hold it for him..
since he doesnt have a place to stay.. he said all I had to do was go to the bank and show him a thousand dollars and this way he knows he could trust me.
I was like dude call the ymca, they have rooms you could rent and just stepped off..
when I got to the corner walkin in the opposite direction, I
looked back and saw him talkin to another dude and shakin his head no...
aint nobody giving away no free money to no strangers in these streets...
unless he wants views for his youtube channel but thats still a rare
It is a blessing to be Black
They won't try that on us, for a few reasons.
One of them might be that Black folks are either paranoid, or can see thrugh the BS.
The other is that Black people don't have disposable income a lot of times
and are "protected" from certain scams like this.

Oh if that's how he feels that's OK.
I won't ever hate on anyone missing out on once in a lifetime opportunities to transfer wealth to their families for generations to come.
That's always their own choice
Man how the hell do people fall for stuff like this?????
Theyre always around this time a year falling for tax scams cant wait to give up their shit.i need to find me a dumb ass cac or two like this.....
Lol, love that movie. Just saw it a few weeks ago.
Gotta watch out for the scam always
a fool and their money....
They would have been out their fighting over that money. A crack head would have snatched that money out of her hand and took off running.
"Greedy son of a bitch", as my granny used to say.
