Scam
The hidden pitfall of greed.
Definition
A scam is the hidden pitfall covered by sweet leaves. It promises sudden fortune or false ruin to bypass your defenses. The enemy does not fight for your gold; they trick you into handing it over. It is the art of the lie. If an offer dazzles the eye, look for the hook. Greed and fear are their weapons; do not arm them.
