Hey, This Scam Is Now So Normalised

Many scams have slipped quietly into the realm of the 'new normal.' Take, for instance, the mystical 'free trial' that requires your credit card details, only to morph into an uninvited monthly guest on your bank statement.

Product warranty is another type of normalized scam. It's almost as if some products attend a 'Breakdown Bootcamp' where they're trained to last just one day past the warranty period. They sit there, ticking away like a time bomb, and the moment the warranty expires—boom! They retire faster than an overworked polling agent during a national election.
