Chapter 1: What defines a scam?
scam like for the definition of this podcast is kind of an idea to gain money the problem is that's how you and i look at it as a free 30 grand to them they're like it's a credit line you're like no no no That's not the way this works. I promise you, it's free.
And gave us the possibility of getting a $7 million check from Kellogg's. I remember telling him, we're done. $7 million, it's over.
It was never going to be over. I used to always say, if I just got a few million dollars, if I got a few million dollars, I would have said, that was easy.
Look at him. Look at him.
The problem with most people is you read this scam and you're like, that's a good scam. What went wrong? He did it in his own name. What are you doing? Go behind the cash register with the guy and go into and steal all kinds of...
hey this is matt cox and i'm here with my buddy zach yo what's up check out my channel and we're going to yeah zach's got a channel black zach no i don't know what to say about that but it's all that needs to be said um and uh yeah so check out that channel and um also uh the link will be in the description so we're going to be going over This is real. I didn't think this through.
Scams we admire. Like, I'm trying to be like a clean-cut guy.
Well, it doesn't mean you can't admire something. No. It's like you have a beautiful wife. That's true. Right? But then you might admire another woman. You might say, hey, Cindy Crawford is attractive. You know, I might see another. So you can... Rehabilitate and say, that's clever.
Jess has killed just about every animal there is in Florida. She's butchered them. She can cut them open, take out the guts, skin them, and put all the good stuff in a freezer and then eat it. She's already told me they'll never find your body. She's like, I mean, I get it. Like there are girls that cute, they flirt with you. They send you messages and I get it. And that's great.

Chapter 3: How do shoplifting scams work?
Oh yeah, he takes it. How many songs? He only has one song or does he have multiple songs?
No, he's got a, look, he's, look. So he's got, oh no.
Oh, he's got, look at that. Tell him to check out my channel. We should, you should come back to Matt. Like, thank you very much for subscribing. That's how you should close it out. The other black Zach. Speaking of illegal, speaking of schemes, what about the other black Zach? The guys whose name I stole.
What about, listen, I knew a guy in Coleman that was a concert promoter that promoted several concerts. Right. And then, and people paid whatever. a couple hundred, like I mean, radio stations, everything. And he was promoting concerts for people that weren't, like, these are artists that are like, well, when am I gonna be in Michigan? What's going on?
He'd take them, and they'd put the money, they'd send in their money, and then the promoter would take the money, and then they would come out and say, hey, it's been postponed, postponed. Like, on the tickets, it says, like, hey, if there's, you know, weather and this and that, we're postponing, you'll understand.
And he would postpone it, like, 60 days, then another 90, then another 30, then 60, and then they'd just drop away.
They just fade out. And they kept your money.
Kept your money. By that point, your money's way gone. Yeah. But he did a whole thing. He eventually caught up with it. He was in Coleman with us. And when I got out, he... Listen to this. I always forget about this. This is hilarious. So when I first got to that... This is a whole sidebar thing. So when I first got to the halfway house, do you remember how... Which halfway house did you go to?
Tampa.
