My buddy owns a drive-thru and is 3 doors down from the post office, last week his 71 year old father inlaw comes in and tells my buddy he just dropped a check in the mail for$1,000 because he won $10,00
My buddy about choked and told his FIL that it is a scam and to go get the check from the post office, his FIL said no and argued it isn't a scam and he wouldn't get the check
Buddy called his wife and told her so she went to her dads house to talk him into getting check so my buddy went to the post office to get the check out before the mail left, it's a small town post office
The lady at the post office said she wouldn't pull the check out unless the old man came and did it himself so my buddy explained to her about the scam and she said "He fell for that shit" and he told her yes
She pulled the check out and gave it back, an hour later buddy's wife called and said she finally talked her dad into pulling the check but it was to late because the mail left and my buddy told his wife he already got it but don't tell her dad because they are going to make her dad sweat it out until Monday (Tomorrow)
I can't believe anyone falls for this shit but obviously they do
