      the best part was being told to say nothing other than "thank you" to the stranger in the Mercedes SUV that she handed $50k cash to

        Still the absolute funniest bit

        Three minutes later, a white Mercedes SUV pulled up to the curb. “The back window will open,” said the man on the phone. “Do not look at the driver or talk to him. Put the box through the window, say ‘thank you,’ and go back inside.”

        This dude really was like 'also be grateful'

          I got a scam call one time from somebody pretending to be from my bank and it got as far as them texting some fake automated thing to me asking for my password. Up until that point it seemed legit, of they told me to cash out my account I works have laughed then off the phone instantly

          Bourgeois people in America are powerfully stupid

      I'm starting to think their entire lives are various scams piled on top of one another. But most of the scams they involve themselves with get them invited to fancy dinners at the Guggenheim or whatever where a charismatic person in a tuxedo tells them to donate to various non-profits to raise awareness of imposter syndrome.
