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.
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.

She is being asked about a situation in which she is unable to receive income.
She thinks she could live on $50k. (I do not believe the person who wrote this could possibly do that.)
Then she ponders how she would be able to receive income.
Isn't the premise of this: NO income?
If she is getting paychecks, what is the $50k for?
This fiction lacks even a little bit of internal consistency.
Could the story be a cover because she (or her husband) did something even more embarrassing? I haven't read past the part I quoted.
