"My kid fell for an internet scam – one of the oldest, classic ones. You become the middleman in a ‘deal’, they send you x money in the form of a check, you deposit money into your account, keep your part and send the rest on.

He told me he was going to do it, I said are you effing crazy, do NOT do that, I explained it all to him, and he still did it after saying he understood it was a scam. My name was on the account and when it went negative $1500 USD the bank took the money out of my Christmas and birthday savings account to cover it.

He was 19.

To all you guys talking about toddlers doing ridiculous things, y’all are cute."
