Double. There's multiple options, but double is most flexible and probably best on balance.

How do you "buy" something that has a negative price? Does the victim have to use their own credit/debit card to receive the credit? If so, that's an immediate and serious problem. Fortunately I don't have to try to make extra money because a Prince from Nigeria is sending me $5 million dollars for helping him "rescue" his fortune from a hostile government.

I mentioned this to my wife Becky and she also compared it with gambling, as LBengtsson does above. It is not possible for a rational person to think that playing slot machines in a Las Vegas casino is a good way to build up his band account. Still, people do it. How can a person make some money? My worst experience, although not a scam, not exactly, was when I was 17, the summer between high school and college. I became a door-to-door salesman. I knocked on doors and explained to the women who came to the door why they should buy the various skin creams and other stuff that I was selling. Of course I had no idea whatsoever of what the stuff was or why anyone would want it. This job did not last long. I then got a job delivering furniture. Clear cut. People bought furniture, I delivered the furniture, and I got paid for delivering the furniture. Buying movie tickets for a negative price??? Someone has to explain who is paying for this and why they would do so before anyone should even consider such a job. What's the catch? Who knows? But there is one. Becky also noted that if you send the 17 bucks you presumably send it electronically. Uh oh.
