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

The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger I never thought I was the kind of person to fall for a scam.

Did this thing Charlotte Cowles said happened even happen is my question. Or is she getting paid to publish a story worthy of r/thathappened, or is this an elaborate cover to hide her bored ape losses from her spouse?

I don't know anything about her other the few snippets I've read in the past few days. If she's very clever - it's possible everything she wrote was a lie to build her brand because now all that matters in the US for people like her is how much publicity they can generate for themselves.

Counterpoint - my strong hunch is that she's absolute moron fail daughter and she actually gave a rando $50,000 in a shoebox.

Occam's razor would say she's as out of touch as the text suggests. Of course they publish it, for the clicks. She was probably strung out on some powerful meds, this is basically a genre of people I know exist. Inherited everything, no particular acumen but also no awareness or they'd be Hunter. I think we need to hear more from them.

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
