    This one blew me away.

    According to NBC News, Hanes missed at least one opportunity to realize that he was being scammed. After he asked for a $12 million loan from a neighbor, Brian Mitchell, his neighbor detected the scam and refused to lend the money.

    My limit is like $40.

      Cheap bastard! Who would deny their neighbor coming over to borrow some sugar and a couple mills?

      Damn, even with inflation? You must be super on guard. That being said. I will turn on my A game to shave $0.50 off of a set of coasters from a tourist shop while on vacation.
