That's Not What They Mean By 'You Gotta Spend Money To Make Money'

Greed motivates people to let their guards down and do things that they have to KNOW are bad ideas. Take the people, including an 83-year-old, who got ripped off by a woman who'd stand outside Broward County stores claiming that she had a winning lottery ticket but couldn't cash it because she was an illegal immigrant. She'd get them to loan her cash to pay an accomplice posing as a "lottery representative," and she'd pay them a bunch from her winnings. In the main case, the 83-year-old actually went to the bank, applied for a loan, got it, and handed off the cash. The victim thought that she'd double her money. Nope. When there's a big payoff promised, people will overlook everything. (WPLG-TV/Miami)
