How I Fell for an Amazon Scam Call and Handed Over $50,000
The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger I never thought I was the kind of person to fall for a scam.
I don't know anything about her other the few snippets I've read in the past few days. If she's very clever - it's possible everything she wrote was a lie to build her brand because now all that matters in the US for people like her is how much publicity they can generate for themselves.
Counterpoint - my strong hunch is that she's absolute moron fail daughter and she actually gave a rando $50,000 in a shoebox.
