Hello boys and girls. Time for a small installment of retail
|
|
scams that YOU can get away with. The are just little things I have
|
|
picked up over the past few months and decided to share with all you
|
|
out there in white bread land. All of the following ways of skamming
|
|
have worked at one time or another and can be done at least at one
|
|
store. The scams covered today are:
|
|
|
|
- Discounts
|
|
- Free Clothes
|
|
- Safe Carding
|
|
- Free Money
|
|
- Free Goods
|
|
- Free Hardware
|
|
- Free Software
|
|
- Other Things
|
|
|
|
Anyway, as usual, this file is for informational purposes
|
|
and may be used by anyone (including security d00ds) for anything
|
|
YOU may wish to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Discounts
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
This one is really easy, and you just have to know it exists.
|
|
If you are in a mall, at almost any food place, and sometimes other
|
|
types of stores, you can get mall discounts. Most food places will
|
|
give either a 10 or 15 percent discount to mall employees. All you have
|
|
to do is order your food, just ask "Do you give discounts to mall
|
|
employees?", and usually they will just say "yes" and give it to you
|
|
without asking. If they ask where you work, just tell them some store
|
|
at the other end of the mall, and say you are new there. I have never
|
|
had anyone question me about this, and I have done this at malls that
|
|
I don't work at.
|
|
I was surprised to find that Lens Crafters(tm) gave me a
|
|
15% discount on my 150 dollar glasses I was having put together. That
|
|
is a nice little discount when you think about it. So don't count
|
|
on discounts on food only, always ask, it never hurts. The most they
|
|
will say is 'no'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Free Clothes
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Ok. Free clothes this time. This scam takes a little more time
|
|
but in the long run, can pay off quite nicely. A few chain clothing
|
|
stores run specials on buying more than one item. Chess King is well
|
|
known for their '2 for 45' deal. A pair of pants and a shirt for
|
|
45 dollars. Not bad at all. Anyway, individually, those two items
|
|
are about 30-35 dollar range, and just discounted when purchased together.
|
|
So, buy the two for 45 and leave the store. Next day, return the one
|
|
item with the tags still on it. Since it is a single item, despite the
|
|
2 for 45 purchase, they will return it for full credit. Next day, bring
|
|
back the second item for full credit. Once again, make sure you aren't
|
|
doing this with the same person or they may catch on.
|
|
Now you have spent 48.29 (tax) and received back around 65
|
|
dollars of credit. When you get the first two items, try to get two
|
|
high priced individually for more credit later. Use that credit
|
|
to purchase another 2 for 45 deal. Wait a week and return them back
|
|
to the store. If you can, go to another location and they should
|
|
take it back. Return each on a seperate day and get full credit.
|
|
Now you have spent 48.29 and should have around 120 dollars in credit.
|
|
You see the pattern. Keep doing this and you can build up a shitload
|
|
of credit. Most store credit at clothing retail places is good for
|
|
anywhere up to 6 months and sometimes beyond. Take your time with it
|
|
so they don't catch on. Eventually, you will have enough credit to
|
|
purchase a leather jacket or something, or a shitload of clothes.
|
|
That is about it. The critical thing in this scam is making
|
|
sure they don't catch on. Just use your head and everything should
|
|
be cool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Safe Carding
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
First. Obtain a card number, name, and expiration date. If
|
|
at all possible, obtain the actual card. If you think that is impossible,
|
|
think again. Grocery stores turn up 5-10 cards a week, and they aren't
|
|
even looking for them. If you or someone you know works in a place that
|
|
gets more credit cards than average then you are set. If you are a cashier
|
|
at a grocery store or some other large store, you are in an ideal position.
|
|
During the 6:00 rush when everyone is begging to get the hell out of
|
|
the store, accidently hold on to the credit card. If they say anything,
|
|
just say 'Oops. Heh. Sorry, it's been a long day' and act like nothing
|
|
happened. If by chance, the customer walks off without their card, just
|
|
hide it under your register, or somewhere else you can get to it should
|
|
they come back for it. Either way, you can do what I will discuss. If
|
|
you have an actual card, then you are set. If you only have the number,
|
|
name, etc, then you need to do this: Write all that info on a small
|
|
piece of paper. Tape the paper to some other bullshit card you don't
|
|
need, so that it appears you are handing someone your credit card.
|
|
Second. Once again, this relies on a friend or you working in the
|
|
right place. How many of your friends work in a computer or a software
|
|
store? If you have one friend that does, and is willing to help, then you
|
|
are both set. Throughout this file, I will use Waldensoft as our example,
|
|
because I know it can be done there and places like it. Now, wait one
|
|
night when your friend(s) are working there(it is important that
|
|
everyone working there is in on the deal) and go to the store. Take the
|
|
card or card number and information so you can get your loot. Just go
|
|
shopping for whatever you want. Pick up some games, disks, books,
|
|
hardware if they sell it, or anything else you might need/want. Now,
|
|
take it to the counter where your friend is waiting. Give him the loot,
|
|
and after he rings it up, hand him the card. If it is the actual card,
|
|
he can scan it through, and if it the card has already been invalidated,
|
|
he can just shake his head, and watch as you walk away and get the hell
|
|
out. If it goes through, take your stuff, and the card, and split. Done!
|
|
If it is your card with someone else's info on it, almost all stores
|
|
have a way to punch in the info by hand in case a card is damaged. So
|
|
your friend can manually punch in the info and you are set.
|
|
|
|
Other stuff to watch out for:
|
|
- If the card or the card number doesn't go through for some
|
|
reason, just calmly walk out the store and if anyone asks
|
|
about the incident, your friend can say 'Hmm? This older
|
|
lady came in the store, picked up some stuff, came up and
|
|
handed me the card. When I told her it wasn't going through
|
|
she just grabbed it out of my hand, and walked out.' From
|
|
here your friend can make up a description of the lady or
|
|
whatnot, and that is about all that will be said.
|
|
- If it is an actual card, some places offer rewards to their
|
|
employees for hanging on to stolen credit cards. Hell, if you
|
|
can't get some new stuff, might as well get a small cash reward!
|
|
- Make sure the place you do this at has NO security cameras.
|
|
- If possible, talk to your friend and make sure that the store
|
|
you are doing all this at, doesn't have it set up so that if a
|
|
stolen card goes through, security is automatically alerted.
|
|
I have heard of malls with that kind of set up, but don't know
|
|
if that is true. I know it isn't true at the mall I work at,
|
|
or other malls I have worked at in the past.
|
|
- Remember, that for this to work with the actual card, you have
|
|
to do it the same day you get it, or chances are that the
|
|
person has called the company and cancelled it.
|
|
- Make sure there aren't too many other customers around or
|
|
watching since they can probably describe if security came
|
|
later.
|
|
- Don't get too greedy. If the place sells hardware, don't
|
|
get too much. Also, avoid getting two of the same things.
|
|
If you were to get two soundblasters or two modems, this
|
|
looks really suspicious and may cause problems.
|
|
- Don't do this more than once at a single store if you can.
|
|
If you do, wait at least one month before attempting it
|
|
again.
|
|
|
|
Some larger computer warehouses, no names mentioned (Comp USA,
|
|
Computer City) will willingly let you purchase stuff with a credit
|
|
card #, exp date, and name. If you use this method, make sure you have
|
|
a payphone number handy, and tell the cashier to call and verify
|
|
that you are using "dad's card". Just have them call the payphone number,
|
|
have a friend answer, and play the role of daddy. Easy enough.
|
|
|
|
Last thing. This is based on rumor, so if someone tries this, and
|
|
it works, or doesn't work, get word out about it. These days, they have
|
|
it set up so you can get cash from ATMs using Mastercard or Visa. I have
|
|
been told that if the person has a card with that feature, and they have
|
|
never used it, then the PIN number for that card is the last four digits
|
|
of the card number. If you try this, make sure you aren't standing in
|
|
front of a camera at the ATM. In some grocery stores there are ATMs without
|
|
cameras, but a lot of people around. You have to weigh the risks on that
|
|
one yourself.
