[QUOTE="donna723, post: 624965, member: 1883"] I saw one on Facebook that takes the cake! This guy was openly recruiting people to participate in a money order altering scheme! You buy a money order for $5 or $10 or $20 and send it to him ... is anybody really that stupid? He says he will then alter it to a higher amount by adding zeros, cash it, then send you half the money! Suuuuure he will! Of course he's really just trying to scam the dishonest ones though. I reported it to Facebook and was surprised when I got a message back saying that this did NOT violate their standards! A full six months later I got another message from Facebook saying that they had reconsidered and had removed the guys posts about the money orders. But somehow I have a very hard time feeling sorry for anyone stupid enough and greedy enough and dishonest enough to have fallen for this! [/QUOTE]
