Several years ago, I wired some money overseas. I saw a way cool idea (some art project that I can't find online any more) for a carpet, and some carpet-making-person on reddit was "yeah, I can have that made".

When I got to the bank, they hassled me a lot, figuring I'm getting scammed. They surrendered when I said basically, "hey, it's only $250 and if it is a scam, he earned the money, so why stop it?"

Apparently a bunch of other people wanted something close (not quite the same as mine, but should give you an idea of it):
