scam train

(twitch slang) a play on "hype train" a feature that gives people rewards for subscribing, giving bits, and giving gifts to a channel en mass. It is often called scam train because the rewards are terrible and it just tries to add extra incentive for subscribing, and hype people up to give money to twitch.
I hate scam trains, they don't even give you anything good but they still get people to sub and give bits for no reason.

Shotgun Scam

Shotgun Fraud, or Shotgun Scam, is a method of fraud in which multiple loans, mortgages, fraudulent cheques, or other financial withdraws are made in a very short amount of time. The scam works by going fast enough that it is over before the transactions are entered into the public record where banks and other institutions can view them.

There are two main types of shotgunning, Cheque Shotgunning, and Home Equity Shotgunning.

In the former, the same cheque is cashed at multiple banks, or at multiple branches of the same bank via online methods (ie. mobile banking) before the cheque is officially posted.

In the latter, multiple home equity loans are taken out against the same property with multiple banks, with them all closing within a short window of each other. This works because the credit bureau tradeline will not appear for 30 days, so the other banks cannot see that money is already being borrowed against the property.

Temu Scam

A tlTemu scam is typically a slideshow on tiktok telling you "how to get rich" or an inspirational slideshow, and then the next slide shows a Temu code which they ask you to enter their code so that they can get more rewards. This is used a lot, and is called a pyramid scheme, where an app tells you that you can earn more rewards, but you must invite someone, which makes their app more popular so that Temu gains revenue off of it.

Anyway, you shouldn't really be using Temu, as it is not a trustworthy app.
A slideshow on tiktok says "want to earn money fast?" Then shows a Temu code. That is a Temu scam.

Scam Newton

The earned moniker of Cam Newton, currently Auburn University's starting quarterback.

Due to the uncovering of claims and possible evidence in events later in the 2010-2011 football season, there is the possibility that Cam "The Scam" Newton may fall short of the Heisman Trophy, or he will win it and have it removed a la Reggie Bush.

It has been speculated, and possibly proven in future events, that Newton is playing for pay. His father, Cecil Newton, is the primary negotiator in the Cam Scam and since he was the baby daddy, he decided how much his son was worth. Kenny Rogers , a former player at Mississippi State (one of the schools Cam went out to sell his goods), said the senior Newton mentioned it would take between 100,000 and 180,000 to solicit his son's skills to the school. Apparently Auburn gave more.

The Cam Scandal has been big collegiate sports news because of Newton's impressive record on the field, leading Auburn to a top rank in the BCS standing and a great possibility of winning the national title. The issue is that soliciting a player for any sort of compensation is in violation of the NCAA rules and will result in punitive action to both the player and the school involved.

Will probably end up becoming the next JaMarcus Russell.
MSU- We will miraculously place 170,000 dollars into your bank account if your son signs here.
Cecil Newton- Auburn gonna buy my boy for deuce.

Cecil Newton- Everyone, welcome to Sunday service, I would like to thank Mr. Bob Lowder and Mr. Jimmy Rane for their generous offering to our collection plate this Sunday. Jesus will be glad to know that I will give the church its fair share of 3% to buy some paint for the mailbox and the men's bathroom. Praise Jesus, you are good to me, blessing me with a son worth a lot of money...Hallelujah, can I get an amen...
I need a witness brothas and sistas!!! I feeeel the spirit.
