"Samson's Mail Fraud" is a Camp Lazlo episode from season 4. In this episode, After Samson gets picked on for not having friends outside of camp, he makes a lie about getting letters from a famous magician.
Plot[]
Samson lies about Presto, a famous magician, being his friend, to impress the other Bean Scouts. But when Samson discovers that Presto is coming into Prickly Pines to perform for one night only, he knows he has to try to get Presto to come back to Camp Kidney with him or else the campers will know he's been lying to them!
During the show, it was going great until Mr. Buns tries to make a piece a paper on fire, but didn't work. This made Edward angry and told him he is not Presto, and reveals that that was Mr. Buns much to the campers shock. They all scold at Samson for lying to them and Edward thinks that Samson doesn't know Presto. Just as Samson was about to say something a limo comes up it was Presto, and he knows Samson.
