Top Ten Best Scams Ever
There are some absolutely horrifyingly bad scams out there... But there are some that are absolute genius. These are those genius scams that people and companies have been pulling.It seems like products in many shops are perpetually on sale... This is especially common with furniture for some unknown reason. There's signs which show that the product has been marked down from a fake price and an explosion shape with the word "Sale! " or "Special Offer! " written inside it. On adverts it claims that the sale will end at a specific day but a day later from the end there's another sale on. What a beautiful trick to fool gullible customers. My hat's off to you dfs :D
This scam was just brilliant. Some sad mofo in Eastern Europe wanted to make money from the more well off people living in the UK. What's so genius about this scam is that it pretends to be your county's police and not just some other company. This scam almost caught out a close friend of mine but I managed to save his bank details and get rid of the virus.
Mars (The company, not the chocolate, well, kind of the chocolate as well) has been wanting to reduce the amount of calories in their chocolate bars (Mars, Snickers etc. ) How do they do it? Reduce the size of the chocolate bar, claim the number of calories and charge us the same price as it was before. That's the un-sweet truth for you.
No matter what the app, something that's more expensive than the phone is not worth it.
In the olden days, dishonest mine owners would put a few gold nuggets in worthless mines to convince prospective buyers the mines contained a ton of gold and get them to buy their claims. As the story goes, some old-time scammers even used to fire shotguns loaded with gold dust into the sides of the mines.
Way to stereotype that all females love the colour pink... So if you're a lady, whenever you go and by toiletries you will often be offered a "premium" product for an added price which is just a different colour... Oh geez.
Wonga especially. They sound friendly in their adverts, say their interest rates are low and you can pay back early, no problem. But if you're even a second late, prepare for the worst interest rates ever.
I've come across this one before. It basically says this( it's been a bit but I'll try my best)
Me: Just looking up things about Pacific Rim
Scammer site: You've done the 5 millionth search! You now have the chance to win a free TV! Now just put down your phone number, credit card number and we will give this prize!
Me: What Neanderthal would do this garbage
Scam site: We can only stay up for 15 minutes.
Me "looks up this scam."
The scam seeing me close it: NO GOD PLEASE N-
Me after deleting it: that's better
Why would any sane person invest in fake money?
They subtly remove the filling or whatnot of a product, and then when it is down a reasonable amount they will say '30% more ______'.
A gypsy throws a baby they kidnapped and if you catch it, you will be the one arrested for the kidnapping. It is really clever, and it is the worst scam to fall for ever, plus, the gypsy takes your money after you are arrested.
