I got this email message (see below) offering me 2 cents if I provided them with all my banking information. So tempted.šŸ˜‰

In any case, I read about that format for a scam. I can’t imagine why someone would think that 2 cents would be an enticement.

I used to see a penny on the ground and figured ā€œnot worth the effortā€ to pick it up.

I was in the restroom at Starbucks and there was a nickle on the floor. I thought, ā€œNot worth the effortā€ to pick it up. Inflation.

In any case, this is the format. Be aware. They may up the enticement to 3 cents. Don’t fall for it.šŸ˜‰

They did say it was urgent.

I don't care how much or how little it is, or what company i'm in with at the time but I'm definitely picking it up!

The bane of my childhood was the miserable old guy next door that cemented some 1, 2 and 5 cent coins into his path. I spent countless hours trying to get them out on the sly without smashing it all up!
