Thinking About Buying A Diamond in a McDonald’s?

I’m sure most people would think twice about buying a diamond (or two) from a stranger in a McDonald’s.

However, in search of a bargain, a couple in the US parted with $7,000 for two stones they thought were diamonds offered by a stranger who approached them at a McDonalds. Seeking a third party opinion, they were told they were fakes.

So, the lesson for today is: don’t buy diamonds from McDonald’s.
