Reminds me of a scam surrounding recruitment (in armed forces) in India. 100s of potential recruits come to the recruiting event. So scammers would go around pitching their services: give us 1000 rupees, and we&#x27;ll get you in. If you are not selected, all your money back.<p>In reality, they did nothing. If the guy got selected, they kept the money; if he didn&#x27;t, they gladly refunded it. Easy money.
