SCAMS AND GRAND PLANS
« on: February 09, 2007, 08:19:40 AM »
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 got one. Live your life as a amateur bodybuilder, but behind the scenes be a man-toy for profit. This includes a web-cam, chatroom, naked pics, and stripping for money.

There was a huge thing on www.craigslist.org for months - work from home, $300-$500 per week.  My idiot friend tried it (I warned her, but oh well).  You email the person, they tell you to set up a new email/paypal account, deposit $10 to them for the starter materials.  Then they email you the starter materials - and all they are is posting the same ad on craigslist.org (or anywhere) trying to recruit your own people to pay you $10 to give THEM the starter materials, and so on and so forth.  Pretty good idea, though, whoever thought of it.  But my friend only lost $10, so it could have been worse.

You can scam supplement companies with a fake business license and fake taxes to get them to send you free newly released supplements for sampling purposes(I have never heard of someone reselling them, but I have gotten the free supplements pretty easily, but I was in the supplement business at the time too)...It would be very easy to resell the supps over the internet or at you local gym for a reduced price...Hell if you contacted enough companies you could make several thousand dollars over a month....Just a thought though........To add more to this I do know of one time where a guy was working at GNC and skimming Muscle-Tech supplements and claiming them as items damaged and set up his own vending booth in the mall selling Muscle-Tech products at half off and it lasted for several months until he was caught and arrested.....

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?

 Do what you will with this information, Special'EasyMoney' Ed.

a "chinese" bank scam
Quote
"Good day,

I am a, staff of Private Banking Services at the Bank of China (BOC). I am contacting you concerning our customer and, an investment placed under our banks management 3 years ago.

I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.

In 2002, the subject matter; ref: bb/boc/bank/0012 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf.

I was the officer assigned to his case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the Private Banking Services Department, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at over 10 million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments. In mid 2004, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe. He directed that I liquidate the funds and had it deposited with a firm. I informed him that the bank would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking of us. Cash movement across borders has become especially strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate in and had the funds available. I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm, the firm is a specialist private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organization is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected organizations. In line with instructions, the money was deposited . He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2004.

In January this year, we got a call from the security firm informing us that the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the deposit , and I could not understand why he had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank of china. Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. A person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in Canne, South of France. We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; he died intestate.

In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. The investigation did not ever yield any result My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to practice, the firm will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to BOC, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to BOC. This will result in the money entering the BOC accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the Private Banking Services Department. This will not happen if I have my way.

What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose. There is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOC is concerned, the transaction with our deceased customer concluded when I sent the funds to the firm, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man's family; they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.

My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.

I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to the customer I will then officially communicate with firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have firm direct the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need for you to think of receiving the money from the firm. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions.

I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let's share the blessing.

If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, send me your response on this email: lejemic1@yahoo.com.cn to enable us commence this line of discussion.


I await your response.

Number three a little longer and another Engineer

"From Engineer Tonny Frank
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC),
P.o. Box 256 Victoria Island Lagos,
Nigerian
Email: tonnyfrank5@o2.pl
Date: 18/10/2006

Dear Friend,

I am Engr. Tonny Frank, The Director of the Contractors Award and Review
Department with the Nigerian national Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I am
contacting you on this business of transferring the sum of US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty
Five million, United Stated Dollars only) into a safe foreign account and
the need is very urgent. I got your contact from the internet when i was
searching for honest person who will assist me to receive the money into your bank
account and it is with business trust that made me to contact you on this
matter. I write to solicit for the transfer of this money into your account.

This money was generated from an over invoiced contract sum in my
corporation (NNPC).

I am contacting you for your help and partnership for the following two
reasons:
1. As a civil servant, I am not permitted to own foreign accounts due to
civil service code of conduct.

2. My present financial resources as a civil servant will not be sufficient
for me to handle the transfer alone successfully without financial assistance
from a reliable foreign partner abroad. 40% of this sum would be for you as
compensation for using your Bank account in transferring this money, 5% would
be used to reimburse the expenses made by both parties during the processing
of the transferring which include, telephone bills, traveling expenses and
fees. While 55% is for me.

Please note that I will arrange to meet with you immediately after the
successful conclusion of the transfer, the 55% share of mine will be used for
investment overseas. Your assistance and co-operation is highly needed. I assure
you that this transaction is 100% risk free. If you are interested I will
require your banking information as mentioned below:


1. Name to be used as beneficiary
2. Your private and confidential telephone/fax number(s).
3. Your bank name and address, your bank telephone and fax number(s).
4. Or if you are not comfortable with providing your existing account, you
can within the shortest possible time, confidentially open an entirely new
(Virgin) account for the transaction. I would prefer this arrangement. I hope to
conclude this business within the next fourteen (14) working days. Looking
forward to your anticipated and urgent positive response via this e-mail box.

Regards
Engr, Tonny Frank. "

And finally again from the UK he states he is not a crook but has 30 million for you

"
Goodday,

I am David Palmer, staff of SMITH & WILLIAMSON Private Banking.

I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our
banks management three years ago.I would respectfully request that you keep the contents
of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a
result of this mail.

I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this
communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of
interest to you.In 2000, the subject matter; came to our bank to engage in business
discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a financial
portfolio of Thirty million united states dollars,which he wished to have us turn over
(invest) on his behalf.I was the officer assigned to his case, I made numerous suggestions
in line with my duties as the de-facto chief operations officer of the private banking
sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on
numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to consider
various rowth funds with prime ratings.

The favored route in my advise to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000
traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments. Based
on my advice, We spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive margins
for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood at this point at
over ten million United States Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund
but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on investments.

This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at
the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do
they nominate next of kin. Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin
also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; the deceased died
without a testate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed
away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have
right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful.We
have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get
to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in my being furnished
with your details as a possible relative of the deceased. My official capacity dictates
that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the
results of the investigation. What this means, you being the last batch of names we have
considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or identifiable family member.
This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing situation
is in relation to the deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit. According to
practice, The Security Firm will by the end of this financial year broadcast a request for
statements of claim to SMITH & WILLIAMSON,failing to receive viable claims they will most
probably revert the deposit back to SMITH & WILLIAMSON.This will result in the money
entering the SMITH & WILLIAMSON accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my
hands and out of the private banking division. This will not happen if I have my way.

My proposal; you share the same surname With our late client; I am prepared to place you
in a position to instruct The security Firm to release the deposit to you as the closest
surviving relation.Upon receipt of the deposit,I am prepared to share the money with you
in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the
deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be
released to me, butthat would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in
claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you with the same very name as the original
depositor would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I
could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of
the final closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then officially communicate
with The Security Firm and instruct them to release the deposit to you. With these two
things: all is done. The alternative would be for us to have The Security Firm direct the
funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need for you
to think of receiving the money from The Security Company. We can fine-tune this based on
our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find
no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be
vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you,delete this message and
forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my
proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of
comparable situations run the whole private banking sector.

I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard
for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass
me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances wont pass me
by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and
let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an
opportunity to provide them with new opportunities.There is a reward for this project and
it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have
here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who
knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you
into the center of relevance in my life.Lets share the blessing.If you find yourself able
to work with me, contact me through this email account davidpalmer01@yahoo.co.uk If you
give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to
inform you that should you contact me via official channels;I will deny knowing you and
about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone
lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only
through the numbers I will provide for you and also through this email address. I do not
want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they
are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total
Quality Management Policy.Please observe this instruction religiously.

Please,again, note I am a family man, I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not
without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing
ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of
gold. This is the one truth I have learnd from my private banking clients. Do not betray
my confidence.Kindly send your response to my private email address
davidpalmer01@yahoo.co.uk

I await your response.
DAVID PALMER.

In my humble opinion the biggest scam in the bodybuilding arena is "Personal Training".

Joe Gymhead who has been training for many a yea rand won many a contest pays someone a couple of hundred dollars so he can learn what he already knows from someone who doesn't know jack-shit, passes a rumdum test, and buys insurance and then trains his clients in a gym that takes 50% of his wages.

In the good old days, everyone was a personal trainer and no one paid a cent to get some help.

Just go in the gym for a workout and ask for help when and if you needed it, and someone was always there offering a capable hand.

Total bullshit in my opinion.

Thanks guys...I'm still waiting for something new though. Nigerian Email scams, magazine scams, envelope stuffing, and outright store theft/return scams are old hat. C'mon guys, put your thinking caps on. If you had diplomatic immunity for fraud, how would you scam hard working schmucks out of their paychecks?

The biggest scam of all time is PROTEIN POWDER.  It is not needed.  Eating real food is the only way the body can asismilate it.  Protein powder simply gets shit out.  Same with Glutamine.  Fackin crooks.

Easily, claim Iraq worked with Al-Qaeda and had WMDs, send over 150000 troops and ask congress for 1 trillion dollars of tax payers money that they gladly signed over.
