I would tell them the truth. If you were the one trying to rip them off, you wouldn’t be stupid enough to tell them. For $50, they won’t put up a fight.🤬 Some people! I tell ya... ruining everything for the rest of us!
I honestly don't know what direction to go in... do I be up front and say "look, I know how this sounds, but I'm being up front and honest". Or, do I play "dumb" and be like oh... what do you mean it's "fake"? Guess we will see in a few hours after my work meeting.
