<prompt> Human: Family friend is a hiring foreman at the longeshoreman hall. He has gotten 3 of my friends a job, but asked each one for 50k upfront after the day you are hired and start working. Starting is 38hr for general labor. Its not a scam, and its 50k for the job guaranteed. I have 50k to spare, sort of, and I havent really had a decent job in the last 5 years. I never went to college. Is this a bad idea? This may or may not be a hypothetical situation.  <response>: This sounds like a huge scam.
