A man from southern China has been scammed into a buying what he was told was a “sacred root” in the shape of a man, according to a news website report.

The man from Xiaogan in Hubei province paid 8,000 yuan (HK$9,500) for the strange-shaped yam, Cnhubei.com reported.

Ancient Chinese believed that a plant in human shape was given life by heaven and anybody eating them could improve their health and prolong their life, the report said.
Farmers pass off Korean banknotes as US currency in scam targeting elderly

But the yam, which the man bought from a farmer on roadside in Xiaochang county, was created by putting the plant in a special container to manipulate its growth, according to the article.

Police were quoted as saying that many people across the country had been cheated by similar scams.

Often you ask yourself how someone can be that dumb. Then you read on and find that the scam victim was Chinese and it explains everything.

sHE was not scammed, sHE just 'ti kum, ti kum' with an endless supply of money ( CPF) & hide under layers of 'no need' to account for regulations & laws. If I have such an abundant 'spring' of money that flows in every second of the day ( for as long as people live, they work).....I would 'ti kum, ti kum' too.

Ti kum tu kum is when you throw darts at stocks and anyhow buy the ones that the dart landed on. She would have had a much better rate of success if she did that. In her case, brokers and other people came to her, tell her she is so sexy, sweet talked her, show her a bunch of flim flam numbers and ask her to buy. that is called being scammed.

Ok la I've seen ah bengs bid hundreds of thousands on a pineapple during 7th month auctions

that's one juicy pineapple. typical items for bidding are a "prosperity urn", bottle of martell cordon bleu, some gifts. bids for such items are from $15k to $60k. that "hello kitty" mahjong set cracks me up.

Thats what they did....they sat around, sip Dom Peringnon & gargle their mouths with $30 mineral water while brushing their teeth....throw darts on the board on what to buy....selling is done on the 'principle' of "buying high & selling low"...this is ti kum....& free flow money from blood money of people working every seconds on the hour....

Those people are the ones who are scammed....the ti kum players..freely receive & freely gives ( a shit!)...
