Vanity Publishers
In 2025, I think most millennials are familiar with the art of scamming. We grew up with dial‑up, chain emails, “your car’s extended warranty” voicemails, and that one cousin who swears their crypto coin is totally legit. Scammers have a variety of mediums these days. There's the outright scams, you fork over money for something that doesn't exist. Sometimes they try to steal your financial information hoping to commit fraud (joke's on them if they try to steal non existent money from my bank accounts). There are those scams where they try to get you to unknowingly commit check fraud for their benefit. Then there's the scams where you do actually receive something, but it's not anywhere near the quality promised. Sometimes these scam items are vitamins that offer little to no benefit beyond typical OTC medications for twelve times the price, sometimes it's a cheap Chinese knock off item that breaks after one use. One particular scam that tickled my funny bone was when a woman bought what she assumed was regular furniture at an unbelievable price point only for it to be incredibly expensive doll furniture.
