The doorbell rings. It’s here! The new laptop I bought online a few days ago. I am so excited. It’s the latest model, with all the bells and whistles I need, and I got it for a song.
I retrieve the package, open the box, and look inside. Something’s not right. There’s no laptop!
Instead, I see a brick taped to the inside of the box, apparently to add weight, and a folded sheet of paper.
The paper is a photo of the laptop I bought. In big black letters it says: Here’s your new laptop, sucker. You got scammed!
