Damn. It's frustrating to know how many seniors are getting taken, not to mention all the other numerous scams out there targeting them and their hard-earned lifetime savings.
the lottery...
the "american dream"....
religion...
not necessarily in that order.....

How is the lotto a scam when people actually win? Just because the odds are shitty doesn’t mean it’s a scam.
Organized religion is the greatest con in the history of the world and has set black folks back for generations.
Still, I hate the hustle yet have to tip my hat to the hustler.
Slavery in America lasted for over FOUR HUNDRED YEARS, do you know how many millions of black people that was that had to suffer through that. That right there should make angry at the thought of some religious god sitting up high and looking down on that. They had black preachers during slavery, how could they preach of a man up high when they were so low?
Buying drinks at a club/bar at a 500% markup.
After being a bartender a few years ago, I rarely buy drinks anymore.
I learned so many scams and ways to trick patrons behind the bar.
People just do realize how badly they get fucked and don't even realize it.

1. Disproportionately...the people who can least afford to play [poor people]...are the ones who are playin' the most...and spending money that could be used on necessities...
2. Disproportionately...the people who work at the convenience stores win more often than the average person...and rarely does the government investigate that....and when a journalist or investigative reporter asks lottery officials about that issue...the lottery officials get angry at the JOURNALIST...
3. The government says the money goes to education...when it either doesn't...or for every dollar they put into the education budget....they take a dollar or more out and allocate it somewhere else...so there is no net gain...and sometimes there's even a net loss of money..in the education budget...
4. And as you mentioned...the odds are shitty...but most people cannot comprehend how shitty those odds are...you are more likely to have a vending machine fall on you and kill you...or becoming an astronaut....or winning an oscar...or being struck by lightning multiple times...
5. The government outlawed it when the mob was runnin' it....but then turned around and made it legal for them to run 'em...
I'm probably missin' some reasons...or maybe things have gotten better....since I last read up on it....i jus decided long ago...i was never gonna play...
If you enjoy playin'...and you have the discretionary income to do so...then i'm not here to rain on your parade....
You have to allow some to win in order to keep the scam going... That's 1 of the greatest ways to motivate people to contribute... Also the payout shows perfectly why it's a scam.. They'll say you won 100 million only to get like 40 when it's all said and done.. Notice they don't push the after tax profit cause people wouldn't be as hyper to play it... Saying 100 mill is better than saying 40 mill
lotto came from black people running numbers etc.. They stopped black money... Yes they don't want nigs to make money and flip it and took the concept and turned it into a multi-billion a yr bizx
on a smaller scale....some of those panhandlers...on the side of the road...make around $15 an hour or more...jus beggin' for money....
some of them..might even have nicer homes...than those of us...who work for a living....

Able bodied people asking for change, and the amount of money they make and the people who give.
biggest scam? Easy:
This dude hit Google for millions of dollars by sending them bills for shit that didn't exist.Fucking genius but greedy as fuck.
im shocked that this hasn’t happened more often or hasn’t been reported as such. That a big ass company like google got hit is crazy but there’s plenty of places where account payable cuts checks without proper fiscal controls; old ass women just pay what invoices come in.
I stick to bottled beer now when out and only maybe one or two max; I know I’m getting raped cost-wise but at least I know I’m getting all the alcohol I paid for.
Also, GoFundMe. Digital begging; never thought I’d see the day so many folks would part ways with non-tax deductible donations for absolute strangers. What’s worse is that there’s no shame in many people setting up GFM for any variety of bullshit. It’s almost the de facto hustle when someone is hurt or killed; tv promotes it “a GFM has been setup”.....and the family, or a “friend” has the GFM online even before the coroner has picked up the body to transport to the morgue. Shameful.
Its hard to call GFM a scam when people willing give their money to it.
I mean, anybody can ask you for something but you have to go there on your own to give it to them.
Just don't go fund them, right?
Was just about to say this
I see somebody still upset about not receiving their rhinoceros hide tracksuit with matching hippo sandals.

I have a rainbow vaccum I got for free when my friend who is a doctor upgraded. She spent like 2000...it was nothing to her. Best vaccum I've ever owned.
Goes back to big bizz.. They created the concept of wedding rings(debeers) as a sign of love and push the concept of diamond rings as the materialistic icon for it... Than many other genres of business hopped on the wave and created various segments that benefit off of weddings... Honeymoon getways, wedding cakes, wedding dresses, tuxedos, transportation /limo, catering services, rental halls, churches, photographers... So many businesses benefiting off of two individuals relationships that had nothing with them linking up or keeping them together..if they breakup/divorce nobody giving them rebates...only there to make a profit off the celebration...why does amerikkka pushing marriage so much cause so many companies make money off of it... Multi-million dollar bizz... Hell there's even a business venture for divorces... Anniversariesbiggest scam? Easy:
people thought they were the Shi t when they rocked gators.. That was until I came through with shoes made from frog legs and turtle toes.. Mixed reptilian footwear next level fashions from cruise.. Shoes had bitches screaming cowabungaI see somebody still upset about not receiving their rhinoceros hide tracksuit with matching hippo sandals.
1.The I-talians whops or whatever you want to call them getting big contracts from the state of Newyork for a job in construction ,they go through the motions of making it look like their legit and starting the work just so they can do about 50-60 of the job,all wrong mind you and receive a chunk of the funds just so they can walk off,leave and file bankruptcy 6 months after all in an LLC bogus company's name.They do this so fucking much most of them slime balls should be doing life in prison....it's such a problem.This goes on with smaller guys too but I wonder how is the state allowing such people continuelly bid for these contracts when they have no history or credit rating and they've just switch company names but it's the same jerks.
Fair enough; guess my point then should be that the platform, GFM, is not the scam, but it is a conduit that allows any number of scams/cons to be perpetuated.Its hard to call GFM a scam when people willing give their money to it.

Back when Whole Foods let you tag your produce I use to tag all my steaks with produce stickers and buy them for the low low low.
Hospital Bills...
Basically...the hospital administrators...jus pull a number out of their ass...on how much they will charge for their services....

Tell me about it. Those fuckers are set to pay out only like 17 percent of what they take in.
Did this in the early 90's selling Kirby vacuums. I was making between $600 to over a G a week. Earned a trip to Disney world. Niggas would load up in a van and hit neighborhoods. The key was looking for homes with "good credit" indicators like a a late model whip or fairly new double-wide trailer home and them huge ass satellite dishes back in the day.
Also had to hit em with the sob story to get in the house: "Ma'am I'm trying to earn money for college and if you just give me 15 mins the company pays $25 towards my tuition." Once you get in and start pulling dirt from their carpet and mattress, it was a wrap. Call the finance company and boom, you're approved. Cha ching nigga!!!!
Or just a cashier that doesn't look at the price of what she rings up …. only listens for the beep from the register indicating that it's been scanned.

Kirby $1800 vacuums …. they still selling them shits …. when I first brought my house they came in and did a demonstration....
