I wonder if you could adapt this scam to investments.

Hey buddy... Wanna buy some stock. We bought them for a client, but he doesn't want them. We paid $80 a share, but we'll sell them to you for $10! You look like a smart guy, I'm sure you know that Lehman Brothers is a high end company! Look, it says here right on the certificate, $80!
