Yeah I thought Apple Pay was just bartering.
I still use, like, real cash.

Hmm... Trilogy for a show.

I look forward to the day when prisons are like Midnight Express, instead of, n the words of someone I know who did time:

But the logic was the same: surely they wouldn't completely blow up this thing for a few hundred bucks?
Had something similar in the pool leagues.
A brand new team entered the leagues made of players we knew, including a captain that we all knew as well.

She was taking entry money, "subs", for months from the players, but was skipping weekly meetings with the league's organisers.

After a few months, she vanished, literally just **poof** off the face of the earth
, Facebook gone, everything... never paying any of the money her players had put in for subs.

Turns out she'd also been taking more than she should have been in the subs, and had pocketed about 6 grand of her team's cash.

Didn't here a peep for about a year, then suddenly she appeared again in a league 2 towns across, and was doing them same thing until we contacted her players to let them know who she was.
Apparently they cornered her and got their cash back in an "unpretty" way.

Last I heard she was working nearby as a barmaid after serving time for fraud.
Easy way to get blacklisted by scammers...

I got mail from a company saying they wanted me to advertise their product.
Usually sunglasses, wallets, various other products.

I left it for 3 days, then answered the mail.

"I have accepted you r business proposal. The mail you sent was from 3 days ago dated *insert correct date*. And since said date 3 days ago, I have been advertising your business on my various social media accounts
My current charge for said advertising is $25,000US per hour.
Your current outstanding bill is $1,800,000US for my past 3 days of work advertising on behalf of your company.

Pleas get in touch soon so we can exchange account details and I can receive payment.

Should contact, and therefore payment not be made, I will be consulting my solicitors"

You'll soon be blacklisted and never get mail again from literally any scammer.
