The Echo Effect

Sitting at my desk, and BOOM – free stuff from braggarts?



Leo, a corporate drone tormented by soul-crushing IT helpdesk calls. His greatest life achievements? Pining after his dream girl Clara for a decade without making a move, and an unfinished novel gathering dust in his desk drawer.



Then came the high school reunion. Julian Croft, the rich jerk who loved stomping on Leo back in the day, was back at it – flexing hard:

"Oh, just closed a seven-figure deal? Chump change, really. Picked up this penthouse overlooking Central Park on a whim. Views are kinda okay, I guess."

"Oh yeah, and downstairs? My custom McLaren Speedtail. Only 106 made worldwide, you know? Mine's got... special touches. Having it brought over later."



Ding! Your "Face-Slapping Delivery Service" has arrived!



Leo's phone buzzes: Penthouse Deed - Acquired!

His pocket suddenly weighs a ton: McLaren Key Fob - Acquired!



Leo stared, dumbfounded: Since when did phishing scams... get so hardcore?!
