Talking Scams!

Alright peeps, this is the place to share your scams that you know of, or more importantly, have pulled off before!

1) The movie ticket Scam

-buy a ticket and fold it over to look like it already has been ripped. Wait for a few people to approach the ticket ripper guy at the entrance to the theater. Just hold it up quickly to him/her just enough to show that it is for a movie of that day. Then, after the movie, go back to the ticket booth and ask for a refund on your unripped movie ticket saying that you bought an extra for your friends that were running late. Note: I found out this weekeend that some movie houses require you to take your ticket back 15 min after the movie starts...you'd just have to go back to a different ticket booth to avoid talking to the person you just bought it from.

2) The movie rental scam

-everyone knows that Blockbuster is a monopoly, and the $4.32 that they charge for a rental (in my area) is complete gargabe. Even more
appauling is their late fee charges...those bastards! So, set it up so that you and a friend rent a movie on the same day. Then, after watching the movie, swipe it with your friends tape before you take it back. When you get back to the store, tell them that the wrong movie was in the box when you got it...and they will give you a free rental!


-Feel free to share yours!

1) The free pool table!

Put ur money into the slot in the pool table, push it in and put a peg in the little hole just below the slider. The slider will now trap on that peg and leave the "roller" which holds the balls at an angle, if u get this angle right the balls should just slide right back to be played again. If it doesnt work, just blame it on a dodgy table and ask some1 to open the table up to get the ball out

HA! That reminds me of something else...a few years ago I bought the Norton Anti-Virus program. After I installed it and found I had no viruses I took it back to the store to get my $$ back. They said they couldn't refund my $$, but that I could call the number on the back of the box for one.

So I called Norton, told them I didn't need it, and they told me that they would send me a refund if I agreed to destroy the software.

HA! Suckers! I just gave it to a friend, and a few days later I got a check in the mail for $50.

Cha-ching!
thank you!
haha

if ya want free food. Drive thru is the way to go. Just drive thru, order something(get a receipt for shure) come back in a few minutes later minus the item(cheeseburger etc) DO NOT try with a 20 piece nugget! and complain to a manager that there is something missing.

Oder a pizza late at night, just as it's about to close. And then a few minutes later order another one for an address that's on the way from the pizza place to yours, but doesn't really exist. Something like Flat 12 when you know there's only 10 or something. Or number 34a.

They'll probably get the same dude to deliver both, he'll go o deliver the other one first but it wont be there, so when he comes to you he'll give you both but only charge you for yours. It's worked a few times for me.

The other way is to order one yourself, have your mate order one, and while you're paying for yours, your mate's nicking the other one out that back of the bike.

I enjoy buying expensive computers only to take them apart and replace their internal components with inferior components so that I can then take the computers back to the store for refunds, thereby ending up with nice shit that I can sell to my homiez so that they can then sell it on the street or trade for drugs/guns/women/whatever they want. It's a rather lucrative endeavor.
