I'm sure we all know at least one person who along with being really stupid has a lot of money which they are willing to spend. When i heard of this scam i wasn't completely sure that it would work, but when i eventually tried it, the results were pretty good.
So i was at school. it was a Thursday and the time table on Thursday is the worst. I decided to lighten up the day with a scam. I was talking to this girl when i remembered this scam. I felt for the cash in my pocket. Feeling it there i put my hand in and took out the crumpled twenty rupee note. Casually i asked the girl i was talking to if she had two tens she would give me for the twenty. She put her hand into her bag and took out two tens. I noticed a piece of paper on my desk. I wrapped the three notes (one twenty and two tens) in the paper making a sort of make shift envelope. My friend (who is was trying this scam on) stood there not sure of what was happening. I told her that i was willing to sell the 'envelope' containing' forty bucks for just thirty rupees. She thought for a moment and agreed. After all she would be making a ten rupee profit (or thats what she thought). So the transaction was made and i became ten rupees richer.
For those people who didn't understand how i made a profit here is the explanation. When put her twenty and my note in the paper i had contributed just twenty rupees and she contribute twenty. Therefore when i sell it for thirty rupees i am actually making a ten rupee profit.
This scam may appear too stupid to actually work. Even i thought so in the beginning. After trying it on this girl i also asked a few other people if they would make this exchange if they were given the chance, and they said that they would. So before you label this scam as a stupid one i suggest you try it at least once. And this should be done on someone who isn't very quick witted. If you have any questions post a comment. I would love to hear your success and failure stories. So leave a comment. Any variations of this scam is welcome. Also follow my blog..
