Did y'all hear about this gal named Charlotte, a New York financial columnist who claims she was scammed out of $50K?
It seems that she was called by Amazon who alerted her to identify thrift
Then she was called by the Federal Trade Commission Then she was called by the CIA, and some point she gave $50K to two dudes in a while Mercedes.. Then, she told the whole story to the media, who lapped it up like a cat given a bowl of heavy cream.
Two things. Either she is too gullible to be writing a fiancé column, or she is trying to explain to her husband what happened to $50K.
I'm going with the Jussie Smollett angle. She's lying about something and she is $50K poorer. And, her husband is truly pissed.
She has a BA in English. I wasn't able locate any qualifications for writing a finance column.
ReplyDeleteBased on nothing but instinct. From most to least likely.
ReplyDelete1- Strait up made the whole thing up to go viral and somehow boost her career.
2- Like you said somehow blew 50k (coke, shopping, entertainment) and is trying to hide the loss from her spouse.
3- Actually got scammed.
Me? I'm betting 2), then 1).
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm giving her too much credit. I'd hate to think anyone with an IQ above the ambient temperature would fall for a scam THAT blatant.
