This is the "stand" and the kid's on the right. This really isn't close to the picture I had in my head when tx first mentioned this. Lol, that ain't lemonade, that's Gatorade. Also, I can't say I've ever been to a neighborhood lemonade stand that sold cotton candy.

I was travelling through Casper, WY a few summers back and happened to hit their 'lemonade stand' day.

At first, I was surprised at the number of stands out there; seemed like nearly every corner had one, and some looked to be quite well-built. A bit later I heard the local radio people talking about it. Apparently, Lemonade Day is a big thing up there.

Scam: no fudge or milk?

Spoiler:
Banworthy post, I'll see myself out.

One of my rules to live by is to never pass a kid's lemonade stand without buying something, but I would walk right past that as it is not a lemonade stand.

reminds me of playing golf in Palm Springs... almost didn't let me play with my hockey jersey and shorts... near the end we ran into a little kid with a cooler on the fringe of the course... bought his dad's beers, it was a win/win for everyone except dad

What if he poured the drinks into pitchers and sold them a cup at a time to you? Isn't that what a lemonade stand is? Or are you just looking for a little more effort/presentation?

Does anyone know how this scam works? I got a call yesterday on my landline from a person claiming to be with my bank stating they suspect someone is trying to open up credit lines in my name. He had the last four digits of my social security number. He said he had all of my personal information. I asked him not to call again and I hung up on him. He called back literally 9 times in a row screaming how urgent it was and I kept hanging up. As this was happening I got a text from an unknown number asking "is this Henry" which I deleted. After the ninth call I got a call from another person claiming to be with a different bank asking if I was trying to open a credit line with them. I called both banks and they confirmed they did not make the calls. I have no idea just how much information this person really has. Does anyone know how this scam works or what kind of information he might be trying to get from me? I checked my cards and there are no fraudulent charges yet and alerted the credit bureaus as well. Not sure how concerned I should be about this. Thanks to anyone who can help.

They are calling to get the rest of the information they need.

Freeze all 3 credit bureaus and keep an eye on things. That’s about all you can do.

They take information from open leaks. Which often have last four digits, but not the rest. This information is kept in databases and used in (often Indian) call centers trying to swindle people.

Clever scam by Musk. I occasionally click an X trying to close an ad or window, but end up at his site. New computer I'll figure it out.
