Preface:
|
|||
|
--------
|
|||
|
Yes, another file in the never ending saga of fraud.
|
|||
|
Being a student makes you ever money conscience, and
|
|||
|
exploring ever possible profitable loophole becomes a way of
|
|||
|
life. Of course I have never and will never write a file on
|
|||
|
anything I haven't done personally, and this is no exception.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Airlines:
|
|||
|
---------
|
|||
|
With all the airline competition that you find nowdays,
|
|||
|
of course there is going to be some carelessness in the
|
|||
|
handling of your luggage, and in the past year, luggage loss
|
|||
|
has been at an all-time high. This is the fraud we are going
|
|||
|
to exploit. The lost luggage scam.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Tickets:
|
|||
|
--------
|
|||
|
These must be purchased legally, of course, but don't
|
|||
|
have to be a cross country flight, in fact it can just be to
|
|||
|
the next state if you want. More than likely you would want
|
|||
|
to plan this at least a month in advance, to insure that you
|
|||
|
get the cheapest flight available. Let's say that you live
|
|||
|
in Chicago, and are planning on flying to Detroit. You would
|
|||
|
purchase your tickets from O'Hare on say Piedmont airlines,
|
|||
|
but your return trip MUST be on a different airline, say a
|
|||
|
one way from Detroit Metro to O'hare via Northwest Orient.
|
|||
|
The reason for this will be explained fully later.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Trip:
|
|||
|
---------
|
|||
|
Get dressed up, really dressed up. Tie and maybe even a
|
|||
|
jacket, too. Yes, leave the concert shirts at home this
|
|||
|
weekend, no matter where you go, you'll get more respect and
|
|||
|
look older in a sportscoat then in your CRUE shirt. Besides,
|
|||
|
this is going to net you $1250.00, so for one weekend, be
|
|||
|
that guy your mom always wanted you to be. You want to give
|
|||
|
the impression that you are a businessman traveling, or at
|
|||
|
least that you are a clean-cut guy going to your mom's
|
|||
|
funeral or something. I always carry a briefcase on legit
|
|||
|
business trips, and this is almost a sign to airlines that
|
|||
|
you are a frequent flyer, and deserve attention.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Landing:
|
|||
|
--------
|
|||
|
Ok, this is where you must have some type of friend or
|
|||
|
something to help you out, waiting for you. I had a friend
|
|||
|
waiting for me at the terminal, then met him later at the
|
|||
|
car, but MAKE SURE that is isn't obvious that you are around
|
|||
|
this guy. Make sure he knows what your luggage looks like,
|
|||
|
for he is going to wait and pick up your luggage and take it
|
|||
|
out to the car, while you wait around for your never
|
|||
|
appearing luggage.
|
|||
|
You wait and wait and wait, but your luggage never
|
|||
|
appears. Be careful of the guys from the airlines that stand
|
|||
|
around. Although they may not notice anything going on, they
|
|||
|
may come in to the luggage office and see you there, but
|
|||
|
remembered that you had picked up your luggage. When I did
|
|||
|
it, my friend wasn't sure if he could remember what my
|
|||
|
luggage looked like, so I stood opposite him at the carousal
|
|||
|
and discretely pointed out my luggage as it went by.
|
|||
|
After waiting for almost everyone to leave, and only a
|
|||
|
set of golf clubs are circulating, go up to one of the
|
|||
|
airline guys standing around and ask if that is "all the
|
|||
|
luggage from the flight." They will say something to the
|
|||
|
effect of "Yep, thats all there be!" Then look for the
|
|||
|
airline desk, or usually they have an office for lost
|
|||
|
luggage. Go there and wait. I waited for about 45 minutes,
|
|||
|
while an old lady bitched at the clerk, and a black lady
|
|||
|
paced up and down, mad as hell. When it's your turn, the
|
|||
|
clerk will be tired, and can't wait to go home. Tell her
|
|||
|
what happened, she'll look at your tickets and your baggage
|
|||
|
claim tickets, write them down, and then have you look at a
|
|||
|
chart and describe what you luggage looked like. Give them
|
|||
|
some odd description that doesn't vaguely resemble yours.
|
|||
|
From there, they will give you their number, and they will
|
|||
|
ask for your number where you will be staying. If you don't
|
|||
|
want to give out the number for some reason, just say that
|
|||
|
you have to find a motel, and you can call them later. They
|
|||
|
will apologize, saying that they will call around and try to
|
|||
|
find your luggage.
|
|||
|
Give them an anxious call later, and they will, of
|
|||
|
course, not have found your luggage yet. They will say to
|
|||
|
call back tomorrow, and meanwhile they will keep looking.
|
|||
|
When you call back the next day, they'll apologize again, and
|
|||
|
tell you that if they can't find it in the next few days,
|
|||
|
they'll send you some claim forms. Act cold, somewhat
|
|||
|
pissed, after all, they did lose your luggage!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Claim Forms:
|
|||
|
------------
|
|||
|
These will arrive within a week, and are basically a two
|
|||
|
page form, one being just to fill out information about what
|
|||
|
flight it was, etc. The other is the actual claim form.
|
|||
|
This is a form that has you list and describe each article,
|
|||
|
showing the new value, depreciated value, date purchased, and
|
|||
|
description. Go though all these, and be realistic, a $200
|
|||
|
watch bought a month ago is only worth about $175. Remember
|
|||
|
that you must show receipts for anything that is over $100 in
|
|||
|
value, so if you are like me and keep all your credit card
|
|||
|
receipts, use those. Anything that can be shoved in a bag
|
|||
|
can be claimed, and don't forget the $40 hair dryer and the
|
|||
|
$60 shaver.
|
|||
|
Send in the claim form, along with any receipts, and
|
|||
|
xerox EVERYTHING that is being sent, you have to send your
|
|||
|
tickets, baggage claim stubs, plus any receipts. In case any
|
|||
|
of these are "lost", keep copies. The letter then must be
|
|||
|
sent by certified mail, which is no big deal. A $2
|
|||
|
investment.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Settlement:
|
|||
|
-----------
|
|||
|
The settlement comes pretty quick, usually about 3
|
|||
|
weeks, and if you claimed say $1500 in loss, you will get the
|
|||
|
maximum that the airlines will pay, which is $1,250.00, which
|
|||
|
isn't bad money. This will pay of your housing, or a
|
|||
|
downpayment on a car, or quite a lot of dope. This is BY FAR
|
|||
|
the safest scam to pull, being that the only risk involved is
|
|||
|
having your friend pick up your stuff, and if things look
|
|||
|
bad, you can always say "fuck it" and walk away from it.
|
|||
|
The reason you take another airline back is so that the
|
|||
|
airline people don't see you with a load of luggage going
|
|||
|
home!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Good luck...
