“Single Mom” Tries To Scam Person She Bought A Couch From With Fake Bed Bug Pics, Gets Owned

Be it offering inheritance from a forgotten relative or congratulating on a won lottery, internet scamming has been steadily growing throughout the years. This dishonest opportunist also wanted a piece of the piece. The “single mom” messaged the person who just sold them a couch, saying it has bed bugs in it and demanding a refund. However, after the scammer threw this weak jab, the seller countered it with a hook that connected so well, the crook went unconscious in the middle of the conversation.

Using stock photos does not work. When will people understand that? I seriously don't get how they can be so dumb to try it over and over again.

As long as people believe in a flat earth, how can you think they will learn advanced stuff like not using stock photos? And yeah, I know that that is not really "advanced". But if they fail at the shape of the planet we are living on, then I don't know what could be more basic.

It's usually a scam when they start using the 'single mother' angle - especially over and over. They use it to get sympathy, hoping the mark with feel sorry for them
