I guess this should go into Economics. Mods, you can move this thread if there is somewhere better for it to go.
This is a place where you can post the scams you've heard of that people use to take and keep your money. Yeah, besides the Nigerian prince.
I've read about scammers once trying to get passersby to help them break into cars, claiming they are the owners and they locked their keys inside.
Right after I read this, I was at my local post office and someone repeatedly asked me to help him get into his postal box because he lost his key. I refused and kept telling him to wait till Monday and talk to an employee, but this guy didn't want to do that (this was Friday night).
I thought then and I still think that was a scam.
What are some other scams you think people should know about?
