The scams I have experienced

Society’s traps are deep, I want to go back to the countryside. I believe that everyone has encountered various scams in their life experience. With the attitude of chasing after those who come, I have compiled statistics on the scams I have experienced.

1. Distributing flyers

At that time, I had just graduated and had nothing to do, so I planned to find a part-time job to earn some money. After all, it was not appropriate to be idle all day in Beijing and earn a living. I started browsing the recruitment information posted online and saw a pretty good job. The salary was 100 yuan an hour. The specific job was to distribute flyers. The salary was paid in cash. There was a phone number below. I called him on the phone and agreed to meet him at the Xidan subway entrance at three o'clock in the afternoon.

I arrived in Xidan early in the afternoon and waited at the agreed subway entrance but no one was there. When I called, the other party asked me where I was and then what I was wearing. I told the other party truthfully, and the other party said he would be there soon. After a while my phone rang, and the person asked me if I was the one in blue clothes standing at the Xidan subway entrance. I said yes, and he said I saw you.

There were "three" people on the other side, all of them men. And there were several applicants like me behind me. Then they gathered us in a back street, mysteriously took out the "leaflets" and said they were for us to hand out, and put one in each room of a certain hotel. I got it and saw that it was the kind of card with massage services printed on it. After receiving the money after the payment, he said that in the past, people always pretended to receive the money. To prevent this, everyone left a voucher. One of our candidates suggested: "How about we all put our bus cards here with you, and when we collect the money, everyone will say the last four digits of their bus card. If they are correct, you will give me the money." If you say something wrong, you won't be given any." I felt it was inappropriate at the time, so I said privately: "We have already given this, what if a few of them run away?" The proposer just now said loudly, "Big boss, can you? Do you care about these cards? ” Then everyone looked at me, and I felt that my worries were unnecessary, and I felt ashamed that I had wronged them, and I was embarrassed to raise any doubts. In view of my embarrassment, others would not mention it.

Then a few of us went to the agreed five-star hotel to "distribute" flyers. Then things turned out just as I feared. The big bosses were nowhere to be found, and the applicant who proposed to hand over the bus pass didn't come back either.

We suddenly realized that no wonder when they first arrived, they had to confirm from a distance before coming out to see us. Of course, I am by no means a fisherman, so I took out the remaining cards and dialed the numbers...

2. Supermarket lottery

One time I was bored waiting for the bus at the station, so I went to the one next to the station. Buy a bottle of mineral water from a big supermarket. After paying the bill, the cashier said they were holding an event and there would be a lottery no matter how much you spent. I went and actually won the first prize. The waiter was shocked and said, "No way!" and then took it over to confirm. Then she said: "You are so lucky! The first prize can buy all the gold and silver jewelry we have here at a 20% discount!" Of course I asked if it was fake or something like that, and she immediately took out the appraisal certificate. While I was looking at the appraisal certificate, there were several consumers who came to draw a lottery, and the ones they drew were thank you for your patronage! The scratched cards were taken away and torn up by the waiter. I was doubtful at first, but this lottery winner who came back empty-handed made me a little more convinced. The waiter also said a lot that we are a large supermarket and we don't know how to run. We can issue invoices, etc. In short, you can buy with confidence. This is guaranteed by quality certification and after-sales. In the end I couldn't help but buy it.

Later, after identifying the goods at the street stall, I went to the supermarket again and the waiter was nowhere to be found. The customer service of the supermarket said that he was not an employee of our supermarket and was definitely a fake. Our supermarket never holds such activities.

3. Playing chess in the square

I was waiting for a train and saw a chess game being played in the square. An audience member pointed to the chess game and said to the chess player: "It's so simple. If you see me move like this, you can only do this. Then if I move like this again, won't you be checkmate?" Then he said to everyone: "Isn't it? ?" I sneered at this person - don't show your shame at this level. At this time, a student saw that the level of the audience was really rubbish, so he left with him. The audience said in a loud voice: "Don't say bet ten yuan, I'm not afraid of fifty yuan!" In the end, the two parties agreed on fifty yuan.

Then the audience level immediately changed and the students lost. After the game, the student shouted that he had made the wrong move and had to start over. As a result, he lost another fifty. Then he felt dissatisfied and wanted to play a third game. I pulled him up and said, "Go away quickly. You can't beat him. You can't win in this kind of endgame!" The student suddenly realized and said, "I know, it's a lie."

The student left The man quit and said, "You took the man away. If he doesn't leave, you have to come with me!" Several people gathered around him. When I saw this situation, I couldn't do it anymore, so I agreed to pay ten yuan a game, and they agreed. I went on to say that I didn’t want to play the endgame (the best outcome of a chess endgame is a draw), so we walked away. I won the first game, but he said he owed it. I won the second game again, but the player who set the chess piece couldn't stand it anymore and said you should go home because of your poor skills. Then the person who set the chess piece played the game himself, and the result was the same as that person's loss. I immediately said that my train was about to leave and I didn’t want any money. The spectators all said to let him go, but the chess player agreed!

3. Selling harvesters

This was in the 1990s. One day I met two people arguing on the road. The reason for the quarrel was that one person's tractor hit another person's harvester. The driver of the harvester came down to look at it and said that he either bought it or gave me a new one. The puller said that I am a farmer, how can I have so much money to buy it? If there is even a small trace, I will pay you dozens of dollars. The two parties started arguing. Finally, the driver said that if it was cheaper, you could take the 20,000 yuan. The farmer said that I didn’t have 20,000 yuan. The driver said that you could find someone to buy it, but the farmer said that I couldn’t find him. The driver said, don't leave then. I'll let you go when I find something to buy.

At this time, someone said: "Twenty thousand yuan, right? I'll buy it!" The farmer thanked him profusely, and the onlookers also said that the purchase was not expensive. This deal is a happy one for both the buyer and the seller - all three parties! I know this buyer. This harvester has not been used since it was purchased. It ended up being a pile of scrap metal!

4. Selling mobile phones on the street

During college, I never used high-end mobile phones because of my lack of money. One day someone mysteriously said to me on the road: "Brother, do you want a mobile phone? It's cheap." As he said this, he carefully took it out of his trouser pocket, letting me see the mobile phone only, and then quickly put it back inside. Lest others see it. As soon as I saw it, I knew where this phone came from, so I asked how much it cost. He said this is a Blueberry phone, it just came out, a new one costs 600 to 700 yuan, I just got this, I will give it to you for 500 yuan. I said no, and he said how much you can give. Anyway, I don’t have the money, so you can give me less, as long as it’s interesting. Let’s not waste time. I have to get a few more quickly. The last two hundred yuan was spent on the transaction, and everyone ran away in a panic after the transaction was completed. It was the first time I did this, and I didn't dare to take it out to look at my phone until I got home. When I took it out, I was dumbfounded. It was a fake phone!

5. Second Counting Money

Once I went to the city to sell goods, and I met a stranger in the car on the way. We started chatting. He heard that I was selling aniseed, and he said He is also in the aniseed business and said that this time he was going to the city to wholesale aniseed. I asked him how much it cost to wholesale a catty. He said two yuan and two, and I said it was two yuan a catty. He said, how about this? If you buy this bag for two yuan and a pound, I will save money and go to the city. Of course I agree. After weighing it, he counted the money and paid me. I took the money and counted it again, and it was just right. He suddenly said: "Why did I see that you counted it wrong? Did I pay you more? Let me count it again." I gave him the money, and he counted it again and said, "I saw it wrong. Just right." After giving me the money, I put it in my pocket. When I got home, I counted it. I was dumbfounded. It was a lot less.

5. Exchange one hundred yuan banknotes for famous wines

Recently, there has been an activity in the supermarket to exchange one hundred yuan banknotes for famous wines. If the number on the one hundred yuan banknote is a leopard, it will be upgraded three times in a row. I could exchange it for a piece of famous wine. I took it seriously at first and hurried to the bank to withdraw 20,000 yuan. I searched one by one and found that four of them met the requirements. I suddenly felt something was wrong. After some testing, they also changed numbers that didn't meet the requirements. Paying 100 yuan for a six-pack of "Spear and Five Swords" seems fake when you think about it.
