scams and flams

The 26-year-old woman allegedly ripped off multiple banks, and in one instance is accused of tricking a friend into paying for an entire $62,000 luxury vacation.

The alleged scam, in which people were asked to pay $50 for an application fee to see apartments they were never shown, netted the man $100,000 over three years.

In three instances this year, a pair of scammers traded a bag of counterfeit money for real money.

The agent told investors that Lupita Nyong'o was going to star in his fictitious play and that Netflix was going to film a performance.
