Does "The Monkeys and the Cap Seller" story remind us of a recent scam?

Question

Once there was a cap seller who sold caps, travelling on foot, to different towns and villages. He carried caps in a huge basket on hiw head.

One hot day we was crossiing forest and was very tired. He thought of taking rest for a while before proceeding forward.He put his heavy basket aside and was fast asleep.

As the cap seller was asleep, a group of monkeys that lived in the forest came on the tree, below which the cap seller was asleep. They were attracted by the colorful caps, and started playing with them.

The cap seller woke up due to the noise Monkey's were making. He was shocked to see Monkey's playing with his caps. Seeing him awake the Monkey's climbed up the tree with caps.

"Give back my caps".."Give back my caps" the cap seller yelled. The Monkey's yelled in response.

The cap seller pointed fingers to the Monkey's and said "I want my caps back". The Monkey's pointed finger at the cap seller in response.

The cap seller was a clever man and realized that Monkey's would imitate whatever he did. He took the cap and wore on his head. The Monkey's did the same.

The cap seller then took his cap off anf threw on the ground. The Monkey's copied him and threw the cap on ground.

The plan worked. The cap seller gathered all the caps and left for the next village.

Moral of the story - 'Wisdom helps during difficult times'
