One time I ordered a shirt and it didn't show up for months. No response from the seller. I had accepted my loss and learned my lesson. But then a couple months later, bam, shirt.
I did not see that ending coming.

I subletted a place once. Person who wanted it worked for one of those Herbal medicine scams as a cold call agent. Guess who never paid on time and eventually I had to ask him to leave.
It's taking many many years for me to come to the point where I realized it was my fault. He told me what he was about and I didn't listen.
That reminds me of the lottery ticket scam. I know a person who fell for it.
Which one?
A person, typically poor asks you for help. They present a lottery ticket and they don’t know what to do or say they can’t collect. Normally another person arrives to “help”. You three go check the ticket and it’s a winner, but you don’t notice that it’s not the same week, the ticket is not valid. They want to sell the ticket to you for any kind of money or even jewelry. So, it takes two crooks for the scam to work, they and you.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation!
And they couldn't go to the police because everyone knows you can't resell a lottery ticket, correct?
That too, but the police can’t exactly help simply because you’ll never find these people again.
I love that side quest in RDR2
Little dude learned the lesson already it would seem...
Does this happen to scammers when they try to buy phishing software packages from black hat hackers?
If so, that'd be a delightful irony.
