It started when the phone rang.
Caramel poked his head into his living room from his kitchen. He looked at the phone for a few moments before walking over to it and putting the headset on.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Yes hello, this is Legit Collector from the Equestrian Revenue Service. I am calling to inform you that a lawsuit has been filed against you from the ERS as a result of not paying the full amount for your taxes."
A flat look crossed Caramel's face. "Uh-huh."
"If you do not pay this amount, you will be sentenced to eleven years in an Equestrian penitentiary, and we will seize bank accounts, passports, identification, and any property you may own in order to pay off your outstanding balance."
"Uh-huh." Caramel rolled his eyes and sat down on his easy chair. "So how much do I owe?"
"Our records indicate that you need to pay six thousand, nine hundred and fifty-five bits and thirty cents to break ev... I mean, to pay off your debt."
"Oh wow, that's a lot of money. Oh dear."
"Yes, but do not panic, I... uh..." The voice on the other end sighed. "You're not falling for this, are you?"
"Not even a little bit."
"I figured. This was kind of a shot in the dark anyway. Speaking of a shot in the dark, do you know of anypony that may fall for this? Some moronic enemy that you'd like to see brought down a peg, perhaps?"
Caramel shrugged. "I got in an argument with one of the members of the Apple family that one time."
"Oh, no no no! No, they're off the table. No... aha... no."
"It wasn't a big argument, though. We settled it after a few minutes, really."
"Well, good for you. In any case, you, uh, you wouldn't happen to know where I could get seven thousand bits, would you?"
Caramel frowned and tilted his head. "I dunno. A loan from a bank?"
"No, my credit is shot."
"A job, maybe?"
"No, that would require a background check, and I really, really, really don't want that. I didn't think so. In any case, thanks for helping me out."
"Um, I didn't really--"

This is just getting sad...
Wow, Button really shouldve linked that loot box game to Moms credit card.
And then Flim and Flam return to claim payment for after service costs, and if you refuse the after service its premature contract termination, which requires payment due, along with administration fees and processing, along with an automatically applied eighteen month post credit check and clearence contract billed monthly with its own termination clauses as refered to by the origional contract.
Take it easy, with Cadbury Caramel.
I hope they find this guy. He actually sounds like he could use some help.
Lol well all we need is a joke chapter with maybe a sex hotline maybe buttons mom or braeburn XD make it super awkward XD
This guy needs a friend and a deep rethink of his life.
Least he is beginning to recognize when to give up the pitch.
It's bizarre that everyone is handed the competency ball here EXCEPT Blueblood, who we saw with his IDW issue with Shining Armor is a lot craftier than he looks.
I don't really know why, but this is starting to feel like Spike. Is that just me?
Well it looks like this scammer isn't too stupid to learn from defeat!
I love this story so funny more pls
What 9321831said, hahaha

Yeah, it's just you... just read the Twilight chapter again and you won't feel like that anymore.
Ah. Legit can't even go legit at this point. He's thoroughly burned those bridges... though this is Equestria. A sincere apology and effort to reform could probably get him off with a slap on the fetlock... but the key word there is "sincere."
Now, we need someone to fall for it only for him to think it's a ploy so badly he plays himself. Get this pony some help man, and away from the phone.
I think the short description needs updated. It seems to be only one scammer, not scammers, and he's going after anyone he can, not the main six.
I cry, this is the last chapter for a while, this was getting really good.

A slap on the fetlock? Let's not get crazy here. He'd probably just have to write a letter to the princess.
We're not getting that Discord chapter, are we?
