Sadly, there’s a wide range of scams people have to watch out for. From fake love interests to once-in-a-lifetime business opportunities, these con artists get really creative to swindle money out of people. In fact, it was reported that $8.8 billion was lost to scams in 2022.
Redditor Titahn contributed to this figure when a stranger approached him asking for 10€ for gas to visit his dying mother. Despite sensing dishonesty, he decided to lend the cash and pawned it for his phone number. Not long after, the stranger ghosted him, so he decided to play a petty game with him that made the tenner completely not worth it.
