Care to share your scams?

There's a current scammer alert thread about a scammer from H.K. Care to share your scams (more precisely , your scammeds)? Doesn't have to be in audio either and leave the

Don't pay for anything in purple tin-foil just because it's purple tin-foil and you think that what comes in purple tin-foil only comes in purple tin-foil and nothing else besides what you think comes in purple tin-foil actually comes in purple tin-foil. Chances are what you thought was in the purple tin-foil isn't in the purple tin-foil at all and it's something else that's been put in the purple tin-foil, or so I'm told.
