    Idk if if consider it a scam but there's this corner store I used to go to and the Indian guy behind the counter would always speak really f---in fast like "we got 2 for 1 chocolate bar sales today yes very good deal very very good deal yes I add it for you? Yes of course I'll add it now yes here you go yes thanks . That'll be $10.00 yes all sales final"

    Adding two chocolate bars to my recipt and leaving me speechless, not knowing how the h--- to react.

    I paid money to appear in a rap contest that I ultimately lost in the first round because I had no performance/act; my rhymes were good but I just had one movement. Making it is hard.

    I paid $800 to h--- Rell for him to appear on one song for one verse. It was money well spent but man... Those $$$ that I have to pay back.

    Both instances were through Western Union. I'm more cautious of Western Union now because of this; don't get me wrong, the people did deliver but the prices... Wow...

    I was coming back from a Yankee game years ago and was pretty drunk and got separated from my friends. I took the subway to manhattan to grab a bus back to Jersey. As I'm walking to the Port Authority I see a strip club so I decided it would be a good idea to go in by myself drunk. I grab a beer and a stripper talked me into getting the champagne room for $250. So of course drunk worm says yes. Fast forward to the next day I wake up hungover not remembering a lot and I see I have a voicemail. It's my credit card company saying there's some strange charges. So I call them up and they tell me I've been charged $1000 and start asking me where I was. I said I was at a club and only charged $250. My bank had to call the strip club and argue the charges and I got the money back. Strip clubs and alcohol don't mix like 2 d----s and no b----, find yourself in serious s---.

    Oh actually stupidly gave a friend a card to go halves for a stripper/probable hooker to come to our hotel room. I was f----- on coke and booze and thought f--- it. He gave my card first of course they didn't listen and i later found out the whole charge of $400 went on my card. We asked for them to come to the 4 seasons windsor or something and they ended up going to a 4 seasons windsor in another state. I never got my money back. More bad luck i guess then scam. My friends didn't realize the ad was for a windsor in another state and they charged it to the first card they heard on the phone

    I never talk back to them or give them money. I just ignore and walk past or say not interested. Most of the time I have my headphones in so it makes it easier to be a D-Bag
