What would you do if you finished eating in a restaurant and your card gets declined?
This happened to me recently. Fortunately it was at one of my favorite restaurants, so they knew me. And it's probably important to point out that they seemed to like me.

This happened to me recently. Fortunately it was at one of my favorite restaurants, so they knew me. And it’s probably important to point out that they seemed to like me.
See lessI had stupidly forgotten to replace an expired card with a new one I had received in the mail. As I had paid off and cut up all other credit cards but this one, I was SOL.
So I offered to a write a check —I always keep a blank one, leave something with them or run to a cash machine, or run home and bring back the new activated card. They allowed me to just leave and call back with the new card info.
With that trust and generosity of spirit, they forever secured my loyalty and gratitude. The name of the restaurant is Tony’s in Cincinnati, Ohio.
What was the most silly way you ever got scammed?
I was scammed by an individual in Detroit, MI named Moses Mims. Moises Mims was a fellow online marketer and Facebook friend. He has been a friend since at least 2018.

I was scammed by an individual in Detroit, MI named Moses Mims. Moises Mims was a fellow online marketer and Facebook friend. He has been a friend since at least 2018. I told him that I just got fired two days prior. He told me that if I send him some money through PayPal, he would let me join his company and let me work for him at $100/hr. Unfortunately, he kept on asking for money, which he still is doing as of right now, claiming that the money is going towards processing fees. Unfortunately, I lost almost $2000, including $1000 that my mom gave to me in the form of a check that was supposed to go towards me paying off part of my student loan debt. I was also temporarily kicked out of the house because my mom found out that I gave the money to the scammer named above on March 11. While I was homeless, I told Mims that because of your actions, this is what happened, he still asked me to wire him more money for the processing fees. As of right now, my mother let me come back to live with her, but I can no longer drive where I want. I can only use the car to drive to work and tutor a high school student. Additionally, I can only sleep on the floor downstairs, and my mother does not trust me in regards to finances, or in general. My credit card account was closed since the balance was too low and debt too high. I told Mims about my dilemma, but he kept on asking for more money. I have been pushed into deeper debt because of this scam and have no idea what to do next. I ended up falling for an advance-fee scam regarding an investment that actually does not exist.
