The Top 10 Reasons Your Scam Failed | Your Nigerian Prince scam went sideways fast when you accidentally sent your mark the entire "inheritance" up front. Even though it’s an online scheme you’re assigned to drive the getaway car. You tried to sell someone the Brooklyn Bridge without first securing the land rights from the guy you bought it from. "And here's celebrity spokesperson Hunter Biden to tell you all about it..." The name for your fraudulent European flying toy business? The Czech Kiting Company. Your romance scam victim replied with a 50-page love poem written entirely in Klingon. Of all the things that could entitle a Pirates of the Caribbean ride operator to worker's comp, it turns out "scurvy" isn't one of them. You panicked and told the cop you were hit by a '95 Studebaker. At this point, your warehouse full of unauthorized Diddy swag is worth about as much as a baby-oil-drenched dildo. Turns out the Democrats didn't fall for the "They're still counting ballots! Donate NOW to help put Harris over the top!" scam that worked so well with Trump's name in 2020.
