Mutatis Mutandis: Things to Consider
|
|
|

|
|
Nope, no fresh scams here, just a few things that have been on my
|
|
mind for a while...
|
|
|
|
I. Cons do not come with any blueprints, and any that claim to do so
|
|
should not be followed but developed, built upon, overcome. Every
|
|
scam textfile you read, every swindle idea you overhear, or every
|
|
grift you pick up from the evening news, all are to be challenged,
|
|
analyzed, and remixed to suit your needs. Scams are springboards of
|
|
multifarious possibilities, they are not recipes that you memorize
|
|
and then follow mindlessly. There is no such thing as 'this is what
|
|
works and this is how you do it.' You memorize a short-changing bit,
|
|
get your shit down pat, and then the cashier fucks your game up and
|
|
hands you two fives instead of a ten. You must adapt general advice
|
|
to your specific situation. You must give yourself enough room to
|
|
change your game halfway. If you don't, you will fail, get tripped
|
|
up, get nailed.
|
|
|
|
Any text which promises universal success "if you do everything this
|
|
way" is lying. Following this, statements along the lines of "this
|
|
won't work" are to be ignored or laughed at, as are boasts akin to
|
|
"this will definitely work." Scams are inherently malleable to the
|
|
given situation. People are stupid, the challenge lies in figuring
|
|
out who's got more brains, the grifter or the mark. There is ample
|
|
room to situate yourself into your particular situation, to do your
|
|
own research and make your own molding. This is necessary. DIY is a
|
|
fundamental characteristic of fraud. You're not painting by numbers,
|
|
you're taking shit into your own hands, scoping out your own scene,
|
|
rooting out your own weaknesses and flaws before anything else.
|
|
|
|
This does not mean never ask for advice. Do treat it as saying that
|
|
if you don't do your own research you might as well turn yourself in
|
|
right now. Get the spark and then start your own fire, you'll be
|
|
burning the mark yourself--YOU--no guide can do it for you, not even
|
|
this one. There always are, and always will be, exceptions. Find them.
|
|
|
|
II. Don't act like a fucking pig. "Has anyone actually done this?"
|
|
See I. Never put anyone in that position. If you are put in that
|
|
position, answering anything besides a solid No will result in you
|
|
regretting it, if not today then tomorrow, you will step into some
|
|
bad shit. Simple enough. Keep your shoes shiny.
|
|
|
|
III. Think anthills. Salami slicing. Penny pinching. Cost shaving.
|
|
The small things add up. The question isn't how do I jack that lappy
|
|
worth 2G's. The question is exactly how many fucking vitamins do I
|
|
have to return to get enough cash for that lappy I want. Don't wheel
|
|
all that schwag out in one go, return five, ten, twenty times. That's
|
|
an obvious exaggeration, if you don't see that, then you've
|
|
understood nothing. Go back and reread from the beginning. Minimize
|
|
risk. But don't miss opportunities. Misdemeanors are better than
|
|
felonies. A can of mace and quick feet can be better than both. A
|
|
quick tongue trumps them all.
|
|
|
|
IV. Read all of this at least once more. Yeah, it's just that
|
|
important. Everything written here is a lie and should be treated as
|
|
such. Destroy it. Copasetic?
|
|
|
|
Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur.
|
|
|
|
Now ignore everything you just skimmed over and get back to what you
|
|
do best--namely, fucking up. :)
