She has $1,900 -- maybe I should do the same scam.
The steps look easy:
1) Fake academic credentials
2) Find a BABY to hold and get a photo (a'la Yosemte Sam)
3) Have said BABY paint something (a'la the elephants who paint)
4) Find a back story (easily done just grab a random DU beggar)
*POOF* Instant money!
No one ever went broke underestimating American stupidity...
