I had done a lot more but can't find them. I had the roofer scam, the driveway scam, the air conditioner scam, the carpet cleaner scam, etc...

the firat and third are cool.....

but i have a prob with the second one....your working on two perspective grids here./..
the building at that angle would mean that the guy and the car are tilted as if on the other side of a triangle. /\ <------- but if this was your intent then great job!

Joel, I don't think that the 2nd pic is meant to be taken as literally as you're taking it. It's more of a collage of the different elements (that's the best way I can think of describing it).

Nice work tho.

The Pyramid scam one is meant to be seen that way. If you look to the characters right you can see the scafolding and brace work that is holding up the Facade of the Pyramid. Kinda like a billboard construction. My fave is the Lottery scam one. I based the face on a friend of mine. That's one of the biggest scams used in South Florida. Some cuban man or woman appraoches a person saying they have the winning lottery tick but because they aren't legally in the country they can't cash it in. The dupe then is asked to go halves up front. Then the dupe is supposed to cash the ticket and keep the winnings. By the time the dupe has figured out he's been had the scammer is long gone with thousands of dollars. Greed! It can get ya.
I should have completed this thing and had it printed up.
Thanks guys.
