Actually, you've gotten that almost completely wrong. What they wanted to steal was not the driveway; they wanted to steal the contractor (driveway replacement worker)'s money. They pretend to be the owner looking for a driveway replacement, "accidentally" pay too much, ask for the surplus money back, and then do a chargeback on everything they paid. In this case the contractor went ahead before realizing they've been scammed. Experienced contractors ask for an in-person meeting or proof of ownership.

Never mind. It's just my app. I though Sync was good. 😭

It doesn't support nested lists, which I couldn't tell you had done because it looked so bad in my app. Sorry.

I see what it is. You're technically supposed to have a blank line before the start of your list. The Lemmy website doesn't care, but I guess Sync does.

it's simple.

1. [steal the drive way]
2. [offer to repair the drive way]
   1. [charge inflated prices]
   2. [use high pressure sales tactics to scare them into what happens if it doesn't go through]
3. [reinstall the old dive way]
   1. [put lien on house]
   2. [find reasons to drive the price up and delay work]
   3. [use lien to scare/force continued payment]

What I see:

My original comment:

1. Lemmy has markdown for numbered lists.
2. It's really easy.
3. You should use it.
