OH MY GOD! 5 DOLLARS AND 50 CENTS! (Notice it's a decimal after first 5)

lol...sorry but you have to be stupid to fall for that. His grammar is bleh

[bishi]

and some people fall for this....gg

[C-Death]

Look carefully at the numbers, he's trying to give you $5...

The amount of money doesn't matter.

This is known as a "*****ian scam". My Dad (who's a criminal defense lawyer) has seen these things many times. Basically, someone will say "please help with this transaction and you'll get a % of it", but really, they're just taking your money.

I guarantee you 100% that it is a complete and total scam. Not just because of the grammar or the weird way of typing the money's number.
