Machiavellian treat
A sneaky move that feels like a win, but it’s just a trap that will leave you broke and kicked out of your place if you don’t fight back.
You thought you got a free phone, but it was just a loan and you now owe $500.
Your friend said you could stay at their house, but now you’re paying for everything.
You took the job, but it was just a setup and you’re now working 80 hours a week.
