      They probably bought it for $2000 and thought they were making a profit.

      The thing about scamming the stupid is your story doesn’t even have to make sense. It’s fish in a barrel.

        This is the most likely one “we’ll give you a discount and Trump will be good for backing the rest of it. A thank you for supporting him”

          “We need $2,000 and in return we’ll give you something worth even more money” but also it’s not even a trade of currency and service but literally money for money.

      They probably hoped it would turn into a collectible? I would buy it for $1 for the laughs, but that’s about it. It would make a great troll note for monopoly.

        I have a roll of toilet paper with his face on each ticket, that roll is worth more (both financially and practically) than that bill is

      From a scammer :( their reasoning capabilities have been so affected by the last years of politics, that they don’t notice anymore what is a scam and what isn’t. And if this is a scam… maybe the rest might be a scam too? No, that’s taking it too far!

    Please tell me this is fake. Lie to me if necessary, my hope for the future is hanging by a thread.

    If BoA will cash it, why are you arguing with us? Go cash it at BofA.

    If I were the manager, I’d legit offer them $5 for gas money so they could drive to BoA.
