Lost money scam

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Looking at the title, "Lost money scam", should raise red flags. Is this supposed to be a page about scams involving money?, because in that case there are the appropriate pages confidence trick and fraud. Almost every other page this user has created has been deleted, as witnessed on User talk:Apl2007. Imperatore (talk) 05:02, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Too vague a title, and it is unclear what specific type of scam the article is supposed to be about. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 12:53, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as an unsourced article about how generous companies will be to a person trying to rip them off. Some of this is probably true, but when making statements like "Most phone companies have a policy" or "They will generally get a refund or replacement" there needs to be more to it than having heard about someone else's personal experience.  If kept, the how-to-steal guide needs to mention that trying any of these is a good way of calling attention to oneself, and that repeat customers are likely to face prosecution.
