Any professional scammers here? Thinking about getting some baht (which look like 2 euros) and paying with it occasionally.

Don't be; I say pretty hard, but it's all relative. I'm a poorfag anyway, so while I sank the vast majority of my wealth at the time into it, it's a very insubstantial amount to anyone that actually has a decent cashflow.

Just another example of someone poor doing something stupid, really.

If you want a scam, start a company which sells primarily to its own employees.

Sell them stuff to sell other people. Target primarily highschool aged kids. Promise compensation, make it sound hourly, while it's not.

There is a huge fucking difference between successful business and scamming. Successful businesses create value for their customers, while scams just move money from one coconut shell to the other

You know that most scammers themselves are broke as shit, right? Look at people in MLMs and real estate fraud, for example - most of them aren't like Bernie Madoff, they're drifting from one scheme to another barely able to make ends meet.

Not professional but never been caught in the years I was operating.

Heres how I was making money through cons and scams.

Fake concert ticket scams (single)

Find a popular event. Photoshop online tickets with the barcode. Sell to college kids. Raves are most popular and easy. The kids are so doped up when they come to purchase their tickets from me they cant even talk straight.

Private Poker Game Scam. (Multi)

Requires you spending money, and having 3-4 accomps. But you organise a private poker game at a hotel and have players front a deposit buy-in which you simply run off with. Ive seen everything from faking a heart attack, staging a break in, and pulling fire alarms in the hotel.

Home Casino Scam (Multi)

Depending on your age group or who you know. You can setup a home casino like in the movie (Boiler Room) and draw in highschool kids. Have the games 100% rigged and just bleed money. They dont knoe any better and you can offer them liqour at a huge markup as well.

Online Video Game Scams

Guild/Community Scams

Takes time and you need to have a good game. Sadly those days are almost over, but I have managed multiple times to get in early with guilds and communitys. Place myself in an officer position that handled the guild finance operations and siphon or simply steal everything when the community was at its peak. For the Guildwars 2 launch I ran off with 8k US in gold which I sold back to the koreans and 2500 in community donated funds which were suppose to go towards site or TS upgrades. Another time back in WoW we had a this rich doctor that was part of the guild. He donated 3k all at once to the guild for some prize event giveaway he wanted us to host. Ran off with that as well. There was a 6 month long dispute that resulted with Paypal which he opened afterwards, but I eventually won and withdrew the funds.

Back while I was in HS and first year uni, a friend and myself would buy generic brand rums and vodkas and refil empty premeium bottles and sell them back to local bars, parties and underage kids. Huge profit margin. I believe at our peak the resale price of two premium bottles would cover the cost of refilling 6-7 of them and acquiring the empties.

>> No.404904

So how would you get empty premium bottles and make it look like its not opened yet?

>> No.404909

>>404904

We had our own corkage and bottle-top
machine equipment which we had to invest upfront in. So recorking items like Grey Goose vodka was easy.

Getting the empties was harder. Most of our empties came from deals we made with this local bottle recycling depot. We approached one of the regular workers after her shift and offered cash upfront. The place was run by Pakis so they never took notice or cared. The second source came direct from a popular nightclub downtown which would go through 10 or more of the bottles we wanted. Talked with the bartender after hours and set up a nightly deal.

offer services under false pretenses that dont actually cost you a lot of money. e.g. offer "safe" parking service at airports (cars get parked on your own parking area with video surveillance) but then just have your employees park the cars on public parking areas and drive them back on your own parking area a day before the customer arrives. make sure you have a clause in the contract that states something like 'in case our own parking area is full, we are free to park the car on public parking areas'. obviously, this is just a basic example to give you an idea.

banks negotiate deals between people, that is the value they add

would you hand someone $10000 with their promise that they will pay you back? nope, but you would make an investment through a bank or some other financial service

a scammer on the other hand would ask you to hand them $10000 and you'd never see it again
