The Biggest Scams We All Keep Falling For

They say the greatest deception the devil achieved was convincing the world that he did not exist. In a similar vein, the worst scams are the ones that we've been manipulating into believing aren't scams in the first place. Take the wedding industry, for example. A bag of white plastic forks is only gonna run you a couple bucks. But slap "wedding forks" on that bad boy and all of a sudden they're multiple times the price. But you say you'd rather get the regular plastic forks? How dare you make a mockery of this special day by not spending the money to do the right thing? Oh, you're saying they're going to end up in a garbage bin so what's the difference? Well may we interest you in this special garbage wedding bin. No, it's not any different than a regular garbage bin. But it is for wedding forks, and this is a wedding, your special day, so it has to match.

For some more explicitly scammy scammers, here are incompetent scammers who were their own worst enemies.
