As a former major pot head, I find your stories, while funny and yet very mean.

Prostitute yourself. If you're lazy, you can be the bottom. Just lie there and let the other person do all the work.
Getting paid to just lay there can be so much fun!

Not really a scam, though ;)

Go play Bingo...I won $748 Friday night (Now you guys know why I wasn't here:D )
...The most I've won in one night (so far), was $1200...You have to find a really good one, though...I don't go to play, I go to win...I won't play where the odds are against me

Black Market for Internal Organs?

Live Target? *personal choice*

Get paid to be the "Does that hurt?" man?

Walk with a limp, slur your speech, and put your glasses on crooked and Im sure you can get a job making lightbulbs?
*side note: Ive noticed a lot of times products like these are made by the blind. Yes I know it gets them a job and a paycheck, but do you really want to put your illuminating needs in the hands of a blind person?*

Get a job at an adult video store and be the guy that makes sure there is only one person per booth?

Blind taste tester?

Medicine test subject? *here in pittsburgh a person can make 500 bucks in 2 weeks time for testing medicines. sure you end up with that uncomfortable anal leakage, and chronic halitosis, but if you need the money, theres an option*?

Be the person that tests to see if anal lube really works or not?

Mystery shopper? *I think this would be a really cool job actually, get to shop at stores for the stores, and evaluate the employees on doing their jobs, and when they do it right you get to give them prizes right outta the blue....makes ya feel all warm n fuzzy like Satan Claus.

he wants a scam he can use on others, not to get scammed himself;)

Je Suis, with the mystery shopping, don't you also scout for shoplifters?

ShankS 08-17-2004 06:39 AM

how about sperm donating

go to local hospital > get to see some nice nurses > they give you some porn > you get to wack off in a room into a tub > then get some $$$ in your wallet at the end....cant be all bad and it'll make you fell all kind of dirty giving the tub back to the nurse :p

goback when ever you like...for that paid relief :D :D

Vodstok 08-17-2004 06:56 AM

a $1 investment in lube can save you $$ and pain in chafing.

Nope, companys *usually retail, and food service related* hire these people, give them a list of things to buy etc. and what to expect out of the employees, questions to ask, etc.

When the employee performs as they should, they are rewarded. With them not knowing who the mystery shopper is they tend to be nice to all customers.

When the employee fails, they are informed on how they can improve.

the mystery shopper is not responsible for anything else but verifying proper customer service.

it's the scam where you receive letters normally from africa asking for money....check here for more details. the site is basically these scamsters getting scammed back, the trophy room is hilarious..see what some people will do for the promise of money.

Lucid Dreams 08-17-2004 03:37 PM

i'm confused...and that seems eithr confusing or just too much work...i'm to lazy to go that far into it lol

Sistinas 08-17-2004 03:58 PM

Here is the best way to scam(although you need a little $ to invest).


1.Buy 2 sets of leads from 2 seperate lead generators.Make sure one set of leads is from some kind of trade show or fair(or something close to) and they other set is people who belong to RCI or Interval International who own timeshares.

2.Call the leads that own timeshares and tell them you will advertise thier timeshare to rent for 1 week for free.Wait 1 week.Call them back and tell them you have 12 garaunteed renters.Have them send you $500-1500.

3.Start calling the people who signed up at the trade show and telling them thier name was chosen.Tell them they must send the property owner(the RCI or II member that sent you $) $1300(wich you promised the property owner when you told them they had 12 garuanteed renters) and send them some contracts you draw up.




I know this may not make sense, but Ive been in this shit first-hand(unknown to me) and I know it makes money.If you have any ?s just pm me.

fluffho 08-17-2004 04:51 PM

this is gonna sound horrible... stole it from someone else, no i havent done it before

anything you use.. at least in this case it was dechlorinator for fish tanks.. LOL. buy it, use it, fill it back with water... then bring it back. get ur money back

now im not really sure what else you could do that with. at least now a lot of dechlor has a blue tinge to it as well as a safety seal. but hey.. use ur imagination!

or you could always print up fake $20s... HEY if anything happens it wasnt my fault. this doesnt quite fall under entrapment anyway

Lucid Dreams 08-17-2004 07:11 PM

i've stolen stuff from the mall and ppl paid me 4 wutevr it was, but it was never anything big, so it didn't pay big

eBuzzz 08-17-2004 11:20 PM

Mystery Shoppers.. I wouldn't suggest that.

They send you out to stores and you have to do all this stuff and they only pay for like a little of what you actually pay. The people who call you to tell you what your next store is, they're really mean. And they don't give a crap about you.
Each store pays different and you would have to send in a different application for each store you shop at.
You have to be able to remember a lot of things during your shopping experience and you have to be able to explain in detail how your shopping went.

A lot of work for not a lot of money.

fluffho 08-17-2004 11:34 PM

oh oh i just tohught of one. but this isnt really money scamming its money saving

be like those crazy bitches who spend like 3 hours cutting ou coupons cuz they buy 2 sets of newspapers. but they end up getting like $200 of food for only $5.... fuckin wish i was that bad ass....

University student research projects. Some physical "tests", some psychological (I'm sure there are more fields, but those are the primary 2 that seem to be available, over here in the sydney campus anyways, and if we do this, I'm sure you guys would too...), they'll usually pay you quite decently too.
Some probably suck, but some are actually pretty "interesting".
My girl had the oppertunity to get paid to drink 4 vodkas and go on a driving simulator.

Also, this is just a trick that I've heard of...if you wanna send a letter but don't have a stamp, reverse the names (your name on the front, their name on the back) and dump it in a local postbox...then they'll return it to the "sender" for the insufficient postage...
