Listener Call #1: Amy's Bunny Scam

[03:00] - [05:39]
Amy reached out with a concerning story about a potential scam involving the purchase of a bunny rabbit online. Initially hopeful, she encountered multiple requests for additional refundable fees from the transit company, raising red flags.

Bobby Bones: "Feels like she was getting scammed, but she did call us a couple hours later."

Morgan: "She sent another payment after they sent me a picture of proof. I wanted proof so I asked them to send me a picture... I think I'm being scammed."

Despite receiving a picture as proof of the bunny's transit, Amy later realized the image didn't match her purchase, confirming the scam. Bobby and Morgan empathize with her situation, emphasizing the importance of not sending more money once red flags appear.

Bobby Bones: "When people are asking for money up front, that's problematic, especially when they ask for more if there's a deposit required."

Morgan: "I did."

The discussion covers various perspectives on the matter, balancing the desire for teenage autonomy with realistic safety considerations.

Bobby Bones: "17 years old. You almost turned 18. He’s almost able to vote. Yep. And serve our country. Yet you're considering not letting him go by himself to a concert."

Morgan: "You should let him go. I love it. Like, I'm not asking my wife, I'm asking you guys."

The conversation emphasizes the importance of trust, open communication, and setting appropriate boundaries to foster responsible behavior in teenagers.
