How I Fell for an Amazon Scam Call and Handed Over $50,000

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Setting all of that aside, let's just pretend you're dumb enough to buy all of that garbage
Imagine a 'CIA agent' telling you 'Yeah, have 50k in a shoebox for our man' and...not asking any real questions?
Not being like 'hmm, maybe the state intelligence apparatus with a budget rivaling most small countries' GDP would use a more sophisticated technique than a single call where they tell me to stick my life savings in the box my fucking Nikes came in'?
