Your ISP is suddenly asking for more money. What are you gonna do? Disconnect from the internet?
Paying for airplane luggage 
Well, luggage is weight, and weight means more fuel burned. That's not the scam.
The scam is advertising your plane ticket as $20 cheaper than the competition with luggage included, and then make you pay $30 for the luggage at checkout.
The "Covid is over" propaganda. Covid is not over. It is still killing people, still disabling people, still giving people lifelong autoimmune conditions and other long-term health problems. "Covid is over" Is code for "Go back to work so the capitalist class can reap the rewards of your labor, no matter how dead or disabled you become in the process."

Probably not originally a scam but something about Tax, maybe it's just me but taxes are suppose for the betterment of society. Everyone suppose to pay their fair share of tax yet it's strange that we can't even see how are taxes were used to improve society. There is no breakdown like a receipt on how our tax was used. While we file taxes we have to be meticulus or we get ourselves in trouble.

Working from home, but not being payed rent for the space.
Individualism
Insurance.
Eh, no, surely not. Pool the risk and only pay for your share of the risk. Somebody takes some risk in that, because statistics donβt always pan out, even at large, so the risk taker gets a return. Literally couldnβt be further from a βscamβ - itβs one of the few amazing upsides to using money instead of bartering.
Sorry I should say "private insurance" specifically health-insurance.
