Nice try Mr. Flipper! This is known as a "Bootleg Ground." Older homes often have two-prong outlets without an equipment ground wire. In some cases, sellers replace these with three-prong outlets and connect a ground wire to the neutral, which can mislead most outlet testers into indicating the wiring is correct. Only advanced testing equipment or physically inspecting the outlet will reveal this safety hazard.
