Does anyone know of any good scams to make easy money? I am writing an article for a major men's magazine and am wondering if anyone has any really good scams they're willing to reveal. PM me or post here please.
My friend used to go to the thrift shop on Long Island and buy anything by Polo. He'd go right from there to the Polo Store and demand that they "refund" him his money for the clothes he'd just gotten as a "gift". One time they were like, "Dude, we haven't sold this shirt in like four years." Instead of retreating or panicking, he demanded to see the store manager. Looking the manager dead in the eye, he said, "How dare you sell my grandmother merchandise that's four years old!!" He walked out with $130 cash.
Now, he's a millionaire.
Your scams here, and please no MLM BS.

I know of a couple that has to do w/ GNC.
I knew a couple former GNC employees who used to run a nice little 'operation' and before they were pinched they got away with it and made LOTS of extra $$$.
The gig was YOU buy 'X' amount of product for full price. Okay? So for shits/kicks let's say you buy 2 jugs of CELL-TECH and a jug of NitroTech...retail that should be in the $160-$200 range. Save your recipt and bring it BACK to the store (when the manager is off shift, of course) and get a FULL refund...cash. Then slip the 'clerk' HALF the price/refund and walk back OUT with the product.
GNC policy was to completely dispose of ALL returned product. Literally throw it out.
This person was telling me he would make MORE from doing THAT then what his actual paychecks reflected.
Another GNC scam was back when the 'good stuff' was in glass bottles like RIPPED-FUEL or DIET FUEL etc...is to 'accidently' drop it to crack the bottle. Oops! Then GNC policy was to 'known loss' it and then...you guessed it! Throw it away!
So a guy walks in to buy a bottle of RIPPED FUEL..."Oops" and sell it to whoever for a quick $20.
It was also very common for GNC employees to walk out w/ a jug of CELL-TECH...open it, and drive to the other-side of the city to another GNC and bring it in for a FULL refund. Cash.
Customers who would genuinely return a product let's say a bottle of Xenedrine...the clerk would keep the reciept and let's say the bottle is more than half full...the customer genuinely didn't want it. The clerk would keep the returned product and bring it to a different store and with the reciept...get a full refund. Cash.
Amazing, huh?
