I hate these people.

This is the kind of thing that is hilarious to you and your long term significant other and no one else. Not people on the Internet, not really even your friends. The earlier you learn this in a relationship, the better.

Ugh, you made me picture the kind of person who would tell everyone this kind of mundane story as if it was the funniest thing. I can't imagine what it was before NAR edited it to be more I interesting.

There is always one poster saying that insane stories sound legit.

I dunno, having worked as a videographer and a caterer at lots of weddings, it honestly sounds pretty tame. Weddings are a perfect storm of formal wear, free-flowing booze, and family feuds. I can't think of a single one I've worked that didn't involve some crazy stuff.

Hell, some of the poo poo in that post even happened at my sister's wedding, only the drunk woman cursing and kicking poo poo was the groom's mother, not his 18-year-old sister.

The author is definitely a whine-rear end, though.

No con artist is going to sit there on the phone while you rant at them. Also, they'd use western union or something not as traceable as a bank of america account with a routing number.

Using a compromised bank account to muddy the waters is pretty common with this kind of thing. A scammer gains access to someone's account and uses it to get the payoffs for other scams. When the victims catch on they waste a lot of time harassing the real owner of the account who has no idea what they're talking about.

I apologise because I normally roll my eyes when people do the "but this could have happened!" because, um, this could have happened. Up to a point. I know a couple of people who were targeted and a lot of the details are similar. The dude relaying the story is still full of himself.

I don't think the scam was the stdh, I think it's the whole "i pretended to get out of my car and did a voice for a pretend teller and I'm an improv artist." What probably happened: man gets scam call, hangs up.

...What? Conditioning has a neurological basis, where do you think the physical correlates of the behavior/learning are? It is covered in both neuro and psych courses, and there is plenty of neuroscience research on or involving classical or operant conditioning. That is not the dumb part of this story.
