TODAY'S TOPIC: THE ABC'S OF FRAUD PART ][
|
|
|
|
Ok, here's the final 13 scams to help you be as cool as us in MYC, the world's
|
|
premier scam group!
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ N - 900 NUMBER SWINDLE $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Well, this one's really simple. Just have a 900 number set up through Don
|
|
Lapre or some other such service, and offer as a "free prize" a great diamond
|
|
necklace. Then send the sucker a $2 cubic zircon! You can charge up to
|
|
$50 for the call. People are suckers for free prizes. You can attribute the
|
|
$50 call charge to "those crooks at the fone company!"
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ O - Obituary Scams $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Use the obituary to find a widow. Then call her up and say that her husband
|
|
had bought some gold inlayed bible or some other crap. Then you can charge
|
|
tons of cash, and based on emotion, she will buy. Say something like, "He
|
|
only wanted the best for you...too bad he died before he could see the look
|
|
on your face..." Like I said, emotion sells.
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ P - Pigeon Drop $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Act like you found a bag of money and offer to split it with the person if
|
|
they give you $500 to post bond at the police station for the money. Then
|
|
take the money and run. Easier than picking up an ugly chick.
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ Q - Quackery Illusion $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Yes, we have one for Q! This is a variation on the old fountain of youth
|
|
crap. Offer a cure for cancer and ask for $29.95 for more info. Then send
|
|
and advertisemnt for your $500 vitamins. Kill two birds with one stone, eh?
|
|
Again, target old folks, they fall like crazy for any chance at life. And
|
|
don't forget to advertise in the Weekly world news, and the Enquirer.
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ R - Rare coin deception $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Since most people don't know shit about coins or stamps, they can be ripped
|
|
off easily. Sell worthless silver coins at 3 or 4 times the actual value.
|
|
This scam can also be done with basball cards or any thing else that has
|
|
potential to go up in price. Just make sure it doesn't, or you'll end up
|
|
looking stupid! People are suckers for any chance at making big bucks
|
|
and silver is viewed as a good investment, when actually it's not.
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ S - Special this week rug cleaner hoodwink $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
You have to get an appointment to go to the person's house. Do this by
|
|
offering cleaning for $14.95 a room. When you get there, make any excuse
|
|
to raise the price. Bigger rooms, dirty carpet, pet stains, anything to get
|
|
more cash. You can usually leave with $200 or more. This one requires good
|
|
high presure sales skills, but it is legal (somewhat) and will pay off!
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ T - Transfer to a living trust dupe $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Offer your "expert" services to set up a living trust, which is basically
|
|
a will, to "keep those greedy lawyers from taking you childrens' money
|
|
when you die." Since people don't trust lawyers, they will pay you upwards
|
|
of $1000 to prepare a meaningless document that lawyers will contest anyway.
|
|
Doesn't matter anyway, if you do your job, they won't have any money left
|
|
anyways!
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ U - Unclaimed property trick $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Go to the local courthouse and find records of recently deceased people.
|
|
If these people have any unclaimed property you can charge ridiculous
|
|
amounts of money to claim this property for the family. Since, they don't
|
|
know the stuff exists, you can get up to 50% of the value for the property.
|
|
In most states this is legal, but check. Some states have a 5% limit on
|
|
finders' fees. Still, you could make a few bucks there too...legally.
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ V - Vitamins Scam $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Yet another scam to sell vitamins at ridiculously high prices...with a twist.
|
|
Offer "one of four great prizes!" The one of four scam is the oldest in the
|
|
book. You can offer a new cadillac, a home entertainment center, a trip to
|
|
Vegas, and a diamond necklace. Of course everybody wants those prizes, so
|
|
the eagerly buy $500 worth of vitamins. You claim that if they buy, they
|
|
won't have to pay tax on the gift, which would be more than $500. They will
|
|
eagerly snap up your vitamins and you promptly send them that $2 cubic
|
|
zircon "diamond" necklace. Of course nobody ever gets the other prizes.
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ W - Work at home opportunity $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Offer $500 a week for stuffing envelopes. Place the ad in some papers and
|
|
then charge $30 for info. Wait for your money then either send nothing,
|
|
or send info on how to place ads telling people to work at home. So
|
|
to make money, the must perpetuate the scam. Weird twist eh?
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ X - Xenophobia scam $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
How bout that I came up for a name for X...damn, I'm good. This one, you
|
|
claim to be a cop, and offer to mark the valuables for security purposes.
|
|
You then go to the house of the person and use a handy engraving gun to
|
|
do this. Now you can either case the house for later reference, or you
|
|
can outright steal the stuff, saying your gun broke and you have to take
|
|
it to the station for engraving. Then never return. You might wanna refer
|
|
to my earlier file on fake ID's for a place to get a a fake police ID.
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ Y - You dented my car! $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Since old people can't drive, claim that one of em hit your piece of shit
|
|
car in the parking lot. Then offer to settle out of court without calling
|
|
the cops for $500. They will usually pay, since they don't wanna lose their
|
|
license or have to pay more insurance. Easy as pie.
|
|
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
$ Z - Zircon Necklace scam $
|
|
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
|
|
|
Call up saying that "you have won a $750 necklace. All you have to pay is
|
|
a $75 mounting fee." Since they think they are making out anyways, they'll
|
|
pay. Then you send that infamous $2 cubic zircon crap. Once again, the
|
|
mooch mentality can be preyed upon by a slick MYC trained con artist.
|
|
|
|
Well, that's it for this file. But remember, besides using this info to
|
|
rip people off, use it to avoid getting ripped off. I just might end up
|
|
calling YOU someday saying "Congratulations, you have just won...." You
|
|
should say "Get bent asshole....because of Money Inc, I'm on to you mother
|
|
fucker!" Then I'll know I've actually made a difference....NAH!
|
|
