We’ve heard about the normalized scams. Now let’s hear about the scams that are so completely obviously scams that it is a miracle that anybody would ever fall for them.

We have been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.
Those toy crane machines found in supermarkets and movie theaters.
Did end up seeing someone win a toy once though by using a magnet to take advantage of one of the toys having metal parts and shimmying it into the hole.
Wasn’t this on Reddit earlier?
It was also on asklemmy yesterday and got like 1,000 comments.
Thanks! I knew it looked familiar.
Some say people are still commenting there to this day…
Isn’t that the opposite of this?
Yeah, I suppose you’re right. I removed my downvote.
Reposting from Reddit, a classic scam.
I assume it must have been at some point, but I don’t really know.
Which is fine, people may not have seen it
Same as when people repost something to another subreddit/community
Fair enough! Laissez le bon temps rouler.
