You know with recurring bills like mortgage and car loans how they send you a little booklet with all your info so you can just drop that in the envelope too rather than write down all your info and possibly fuck things up? What would you say if I told you that you could write some magic words on it and turn it into a check that will draw on your estate with $2 million the government sets up for everyone? Well the guy featured in this post thought it was fucking genius.

No I understand what they think it does but what's the actual like object they send? Do they just write their Magic Text on those pieces of paper, and mail it off or is there like a Magic Coupon they print off?

Magic words on the paper itself.

Can confirm. Every now and then one my cashiers will call me over and be like "this old woman handed a signed piece of paper instead of money?"

It's also funny to show them the ol' shotgun credit card imprinter "you put the card there and the paper here kachunk and in a few weeks wed find out if they actually had the money at all!"

How the hell did that system work for soo long lol
