Not really a scam but I was doing overtime and part of it was downloading files one by one from a shit, slow app that we use. Expected to work about 1 case an hour, because that’s how long it’d take to download each file from an individual case due to how slow the app is.

For some reason, I was the only person who realised that if you opened the first file went into the properties you could directly access the location where the files were saved. I just copied them all straight from there rather than going through the app. Got 8 cases done in about 45 minutes, got paid 8 hours of double time.
