Umm, I think you’ve missed the spirit of Newcomb’s problem. The problem is usually given that you believe (or at least have strong reason to believe) that Omega is honest, and that you will get the large payout (or at least that you assign a high probability to this) for one-boxing.
I don’t know anyone who claims that such offers actually happen.
The game where someone says they’d have given you $100 dollars if the coin came up one way, and they’re asking you for $1 if it comes up the other way—that has been done at least once. Between 2 philosophers.
