Enough. Tell me your best online scam. Serious thread no larps.

>> No.10031641

i used to play habbo hotel when i was a kid

you could call in with your telephone to their number and input your code for your username, then you got some credits to buy things in game and it charged you like $5 to your phone

so i made a website that advertised FREE COINS using a TELEPHONE hack. you put your username into my website and it gave you back the "HACKED CODE" (my code) and explained how to call in and input the code calling the official habbo line.

i probably made 3000 free coins off this. i never even got banned once because i was making habbo money kek.

This loophole is closed now but what you used to be able to do:

>add 10,000 minecraftfags on skype
>tell them if you link your channel to my network I can get you a ton of subscribers and you'll be the next pewdiepie
>proceed to lock them into a 3 year contract at a non-negotiable 60/40 revenue split
>sign up 10,000 channels, each making about $20 a month

>> No.10032107

for example you can get a decked out world of tanks account for like $100

most of the time these accounts dont have proper details on them, so you can shift the emails around and gain full control through submitting account details to support

at that point you change the email one more time, sell the account with that changed email for $100-150 wait a week or so till the account goes active again, then go through the account restoration process

then you sell it again, restore, sell it again, restore - until it gets perm banned

the most times I've ever sold a single account was 6 times until it got banned, but that was war thunder

I think people buy these accounts to hack so its a bit risky occasionally and the account will get perm banned right away so you didn't make any money and wasted time, but its rare

big USA company games like battle.net stuff are no good since their KYC is really careful, but occasionally you can scoop up a cheap old account that has a bunch of cheevos people pay big bucks for, and you can resell it for shittons, thats not really a scam though

>> No.10032198

I used to hack runescape accounts with a fake site I made that was basically just an email submission box where i got really really gullible people to directly email me their usernames and passwords. Like it wasnt even a phishing thing, i would just tell retards in game to visit the site, I had this long typed out thing about how i was a disgruntled ex employee of jagex. I hacked a shit ton of low level accounts but it added up after a while. I ended up getting a santa hat off of one. Still feel pretty bad about it actually.

Google Adwords years ago. This was back in like 2003-2005 when it was still fairly new.

I would buy $25 visa gift cards from the grocery store and run ads for clickbank affiliate links. I could usually run somewhere between $300-500 worth of PPC advertising before they would try to charge the card. After that I would just make a new account and do it again.

1. Find ads for homes for sale
2. Go to craigslist post the exact same ad but with my details
3. Get a call
4. Person is interested
5. Set an appointment for them to view the house
5. Wait for them to call
6. Make some bullshit excuse but tell them to just ask the home owner for a tour of the home and ask the owner for asking price
7. Tell them that as a coutesy I will get them the house at a lower price than what the owner asks for as a courtesy for not being able to make it
8. They later call and tell me the owner's asking price and their desired price
7. I agree and have them wire me a down payment
8. Enjoy your easy cash.
Tip to not get caught: post ad on craigslist of "work yoh can do at home". Find a sucker to keep posting your fake ads on craigslist. Extra points if he agrees to make the calls for you. Never pay him or her.

Well the best one I've seen that's /biz/ related is that one where the guy pretends to be a super crypto noob and accidentally sells like 50k of coin for 1/1000 of it's worth and he's asking for help here. Some anons try to take advantage of the noobs mistake and hastily buy up all the coins, only to realize the "noob" was bait and the dude was actually selling like 50 coins for 1000x their worth or something like that, ripping off the anons who tried to take advantage of him for around 50k usd. Someone's probably got the screenshot compilation here.
Also, a non-/biz/ online scam that fucked me when I was a kid back in the day was pretty simple.

Got her username, took a ton of screenshots and posted that shit everywhere I could so all her friends and family could see it.

Distributed that shitcoin to like 2000 people, then got it listed on exchanges, then it listed on coinmarketcap and pumped like crazy.

Basically if you lose the $2k or whatever you deposit to a yourself/friend at a heads up table, you can keep it. Just be careful as to how you play when "losing" it.

They didn't threaten to send me to collections. I didn't actually do it on purpose, just went on a 24 hr binge and lost some shekels. Turns out I didn't have enough in the account it tried to charge.

not that large, it was fairly small scale, but I guess lot of people lost their money, and I got rich, fully legally as well since I never sold them anything just gave it away for free

Not me, but a friend made an ICO with some fake people as the team and raised 200 ETH.

Tell us more. How did he promote it? Did he put it on ICO rating sites? Did he buy fake twitter followers etc? How did he raise the eth? Through a smart contract that actually gives out (worthless) tokens? Or just got investors to send eth with nothing to show?

I don't know very much. He paid someone on fiverr to do an ICO smart contract, then made a shitty website, then made partnerships with other scam coins on Twitter.

There's no real scam but it's so damn easy that it feels like one

just have a good looking brand, make sure to have no trace of the hindi the site was built in, and you're good to go
