Everyone knows that crack isn't a narcotic. It's a stimulant. That should set off alarm bells, right there. It's obvious that this is a shady deal. Everyone knows that crack isn't a narcotic.

Gosh, sounds too good to be true! Free Money! gimme gimme gimme!

(That's only happened to me once, but it was still annoying.) And if your account then got frozen, you might well not, yourself, be able to file complaints about the dude you sent the money on to. It's not as if you could plausibly claim you thought it was a perfectly sensible business deal, after all.
