<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7976218, member: 105098"]1. Yes, quite possible. real talk, Wolfman Jack and his brother in law tried to scam me out of $500 to bet on a "hot tip on a horse" once, said they were doing me a favor. Yeah, scammers come in all types. I was working in a restaurant at the time, they came in talked me up, said "let me do you a favor you look like you could use a break, we got a tip on a fixed horse race, you give me $500 and we'll place the bet for you and then bring you back the winnings. You can trust me."</p><p>Told them I don't have the $500, the brother in law suggested I "borrow it from the restaurant and put it back the next day" when he gives me the winnnings...</p><p>no thanks. </p><p><br /></p><p>Scammers of all types out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I didn't cherry pick or arrange, that's exactly how it was laid out in the article. I did edit out the nonsense like "FOX 46 reached out to American Airlines to find out what steps Johnson needs to take to file a report, but a spokesperson never got back to us."</p><p><br /></p><p>NOW you say she never filed a complaint with the carrier, half her stuff disappears, she doesn't file a complaint with the carrier or a police report</p><p> so then maybe it's not a scam or grift or "fraud" ...</p><p>maybe she contacted the news just for 5 minutes of fame with a totally fabricated story that she convinced some reporter of and they ran with it on a slow news day.
