||
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...
