There’s an easy way to win in that scam.... once I got a hold of that wallet I’m putting it in my pocket and telling those other people I’m an off duty cop and I’m bring in it to the station. Then I’ll pick up my phone and place a fake call to the captain and tell him what’s up.

So how was pulling 2000 out of the bank going to prove you are financially responsible?

Ok thanks

[playahaitian]

What about the cop claiming he aint NEVER heard this scam before?

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.

I'm not calling a damned soul over. Me, Mine, Mine......

That's the "Pigeon Drop" if she had watched "The Jeffersons " she would have recognized it.

That's what she gets, greed got the best of her. Whenever I find a wallet or something I turn it in.

Good. She probably was a Trump voter anyway.

 

[Dirtylakerie]

She deserved to get got. I mean how to you spend three hours with 2 random ass people you meet in a parking lot, With supposed found money.

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.

Youre typing about the bitcoin thread.

Coming from someone who came up on some nice change via that thread (go in the thread and read most last few post) I can say for a fact that the thread wasnt meant to be a scam. BUT, the new bitcoin craze has giving birth to a lot of scammers.

Anyways....some simple investigating and reading couldve made you some nice change a few months ago. Still can. But your skepticism and unwillingness to obtain information on your own made u miss out!

You would have to be a fool with zero street smarts to even consider that shit. Second, she should be too embarrassed to even admit she got took off like that.

Greed will get you fucked every time

The sweet things in life kills the fool.

Also, what adult says, "finders keepers"? Thank God she blurred out her face.
