I continually see people falling for absolutely ridiculous online scams from people in broken english from the third world - How do I profit from this?

I'm graduating with a CS degree next may, I'm a native english speaker and more than enough time to kill. Is there a way to properly cover your tracks doing this if you live in the west?

Start by reading up on local laws. You might be able to scam people without braking any laws.
For example, here in germany, scamming people by offering crimes, then not delivering is perfectly legal. So offering, for example, drugs, would be an easy way to make money.
If you want to do something like that, you'd need to built credibility by reporting good experiences in the usual forums and boards, as well as do search engine optimization first, then gain money for a few months until there's to many negative reports and income slows. Then take your website down, change the design and name and repeat.
Be prepared for the cops to come knocking though, as they might trace your website.
Or do as a buddy of mine did, and regularly send the police data on your customers.

yeah but consider that it kinda takes hard work in a way, you would need to create an idea that makes it seem like revolutionary and that it will lead the shitcoin to the moon, you will also need to create a shit ton of memes, because pics impress normies more than words

I used to run a very succesful scam.
it involved luring thirsty beta losers and old men to a dating site and get them to buy a subscription. I used fake profiles and wrote a python bot that would operate the profiles. I made quite a bunch of very easy money. Then Facebook came and I couldn't figure out how I could make my bot travel AJAX requests so I quit. I also kinda quit cause I started to feel bad for fleecing so many idiots and luring them to take out their credit cards. it just felt wrong.

Now I'm a Christian and follow God. I could scam and be rich very quick. it's super easy. People are dumber than you think. However it's not worth doing it cause you'll inherit hell after this human experience.

my prototype website also had GEO IP tracking and I would show a small one page advertisement in the language of the country origin IP. this worked very well. I also targetted mostly non English since the English online market is very saturated and not as many idiots there. I used omegle to find polaks, spanish, italian, etc etc speakers to translate some lines I would use to lure em in. Sometimes I paid these people some money. I also had a few actual 14 year olds that made accounts for me. they would spend a few hours making profiles / accounts ( the only thing I hadn't automated with my bot ) and I would pay them with a fucking steam game or some key lmao.


I could get started up and be rich by EOY. but I feel bad being a scammer and I'm choosing morality and God over Money.

one great tip I want to give you.
No matter how stupid your idea, people will always fall for it. I didn't imagine people would fall for fake profiles with fake girls, asking to "come buy a subscription at this site cause I don't date here" but so many fucking idiots took out their credit cards. I turned over $50k in a year with my prototype shitty bot. I spent maybe $500 in investments.

Maybe in these days it will start to get harder to scam people online .. i would think so.

>> No.18625193

>>18625163
mind you the bot never operated more than 20 profiles at a time. I didn't even manage to scale my operation before I quit.

heh.

Though I'm glad I've chosen God and Morality over The devil, trickery and deceit.

Amen.

Very interesting. Did you actually populate the site with videos, or was it just empty after the paywall? And how did you mask your identity?

>>18625231
what site? I didn't run the dating site. I just sent people to adultfriendfinder.com, they paid up to 50% of what the idiot spent in subscriptions.


it worked like this:

Idiot sees pretty girl profile online
he visits and sends a message
my bot answers with "hey im not active on this website come date me on __SPLASH PAGE__

splash page would be my little one pager php with tracking build in, displaying a message in the local langauage of the visitor. the page was nothing more than 2 lines of text saying "Hey cutie come date me on this website" and a nice picture.

There was never any risk for me, after the first 20k rolled in I understood that no one cares about small petty shit. never tried to hide any tracks. Adultfriendfinder paid me monthly trough paypal. I once had to fill in this weird american form something to do with taxes. I filled it in and kept getting paid.

Yeah this shit is saturated to death now. Must have been lucrative many many years ago. Could still work but your traffic sources need to be top notch and you need to have better angles. Someone ik used to do it with a snapchat bot and use real models to lure people in. Free traffic is hard to come by now.

yes back in the days when I did this it was great. I did this on one of the many social networks that existed before facebook. few years later the social network I ran the bot and profiles on was dead.
im guessing with the new youth you wont be able to pull this off anymore since they grew up with internet.

I myself used to spam a dating site and it was easy $500+/day method selling nudes on autobuy if you put the time in. Thanks to the influx of retarded bangladeshis and one russian faggot with his bot raping the site with their shitty CPA campaigns, the site upped their security and you cant rape it like you could before.

The function of having broken english is that is decreases the chance that the mark is going to report you or provide resistance.
Broken English is the sign to most people that it is a scam, but if that doesn't deter someone from biting on your offer, you've now got them hook line and sinker.

did you never felt disgusted by what you were doing? in the beginning I had to make the profiles myself and I just felt sick and disgusted by making a fake profile and putting luring texts and pictures. Also I remember reading the messages some old retards used to send these girls and it just made me sad how much fucking loser betas there are.

Dunno it felt very wrong and thats why I quit really. I don't need to be super rich I'm comfy already. Rather not be a scambag.

I know one thing.
If you want to become very rich. Usually you need to exploit, cheat and scam in some way. honest hard work wont make you a millionaire. and even if you run a "real business' usually you r sitll exploiting your employees

10 years ago you could make 10k a day scraping craigslist for emails of car sellers and then you mass email them posing as a hot blonde and ask for help filling up a car related offer. Also when facebook was blowing up, it was ripe with exploits and many abused this to rack up 5-6 figures a day for weeks/months. You could reach MILLIONS in hours for free.

I didnt have to talk to any of them. I had a bot for everything. To make accounts, to upload pics and edit the profile and then to spam users. It was easy but also confusing at times to figure out which bot detection preset they were using in their system which they switched from time to time. It was good money and I wish it lasted longer. You are very right that you never make a lot of money the "honest" way. At the end of the day, if you're not fucking somebody over, you best bet someone else is fucking you over.

Initially when I first started I felt disgusted but as time went on I stopped giving a shit because the money was handsome. I can openly say that every method I've touched that has made me good money has always involved someone getting fucked over. I felt a little guilty doing CC submits tricking facebook boomers but honestly man, playing by the rules is not my way of doing things. Call it cope but I still find solace in the fact that its not on the same level as scamming a literal grandma out of her pension funds.
