I’ll add one because I have recently seen it pop up in some subreddits I frequent…

The whole Steve Jobs “do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life” platitude is making the rounds again. Not a scam per se, but this single thing pushed thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of eager college bound student to pursue worthless degrees in areas of ‘passion’ rather than going into pragmatic well paying careers where they may also excel at but not necessarily ‘love’.

I don’t know if it was a scam but I recently bought an abandoned storage unit that appeared to be full of monitors thinking someone’s reseller store went under. Boxes were all nice 4k new stuff. Some high end curved gaming monitors etc. Been having some decent side hustle success selling older computer stuff I’ve gotten my hands on and figured why not try grabbing some bulk?

All broken. Every single thing I’ve opened so far. Physically damaged. Some dumping ground for RMAs? Don’t know. Items were repacked into their original boxes so clearly a return. Some of them have “liquidation sale” tape on them from CDW.

Only out a few hundred and hours of my labor moving it but d**n I’m disappointed. Now I have a literal mountain of e-trash to deal with. Feels bad man.

I got scammed trying to buy DMT online recently. I also got sold fake coke in Vegas once lol. Guess I’m just a mark 😅.

I’ve got my father on strict instructions to run any/all online purchases past me after he ordered some “crystal/mineral coffee cups”. The advertisements showed lovely quartz crystal coffee mugs with pink and purple colors and he thought cool!
