This dude really thought he could get a professionally curated meal and exercise plan for free.

First of all, the choosing beggar contacted this fitness trainer directly after seeing the positive impact he had on a friend of his. The scammer wanted to get in better shape before an upcoming wedding. Now, his friend must have explained the estimated cost of working with this trainer beforehand, yet somehow the choosing beggar had the audacity to try to get free labor out of this guy.

Luckily, the trainer had dealt with people like this before. When he sent over the personally curated meal plan to the choosing beggar, he ensured that the link was password-protected and refused to give him those details until full payment was received. Of course, the choosing beggar had a litany of excuses as to why he needed to see the meal plan first, but he wasn't going to get away with this one. The only unfortunate part of the whole debacle is that the trainer still put in all of that work to make the guy's meal plan. Well, at least the choosing beggar was never going to see it in the end.
