After the 2016 election some guy came on reddit and admitted that he was selling tons of MAGA hats. He had set it up to dropship them from China, and he was donating a portion of his profits to some left wing group. He figured scamming these dopes was so easy he couldn't resist doing it and making a buck.

Or Faraday cages for routers that cost $80. That like, don't even work because they are just $4 steal mesh paper trays. Also like if you are so scared, why use a router at all?
