My In-Laws Say I Owe Them Two Million Dollars
Right after I put the invoice of an eighty-thousand-dollar gold necklace into my bag, my Instagram went wild.
A woman calling herself “Future In-law” showed a picture of a ring with a diamond the size of a pigeon egg. It was worth two million dollars.
[It’s our first meeting, but my future in-law insisted on giving me this. I couldn’t say no.]
The next second, the shop attendant handed me a receipt saying that I owed them two million dollars.
“The lady from earlier charged you for her daughter’s two-million-dollar diamond ring. She said that you’re her future in-law, so you have to be nice to her too.”
I scowled. “Do you have security footage? I’d like to find her.”
The shop attendant shrugged and appeared dismissive. “Sorry, but the security camera broke down today. It’s written clearly on the receipt. You can’t refuse to pay.”
Exasperated, I laughed, grabbed the unsigned receipt, and called the police.
“Hello, officers. I just got scammed out of two million dollars at a jewelry shop.”
