[DISCLAIMER: THIS ISN'T A FUCKING BLUEPRINT TO RUIN YOUR LIFE. THIS IS ALL ABOUT UNDERSTANDING HOW SOME THINGS ARE TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE BUT NOT A GREAT IDEA TO TRY(😡)]


“Bait-and-switch” e-commerce scams
Comedy Trick GIF by CBS

people set up online shops, advertise top-tier products (shit like luxury brands or high-demand gadgets), and then send knockoff junk or completely nothing at all once the orders roll in. it’s low-risk for them since the web lets you hide behind fake names and addresses, but if customers report fraud then shit goes downhill from there.

Boosting social media engagement for cash

some people are paid to create fake followers, likes, comments, or views to boost someone’s online presence. technically, they use bot accounts or hacked profiles to do this, and while it’s very profitable (and, I mean very) if you’re good at it, it’s also a straight-up violation of most social platforms' terms.
oh, and there’s legal risk if those platforms decide to start cracking down on fraud.

Selling counterfeit products on low-key platforms

marketplaces like aliexpress, craigslist, or lesser-known e-commerce sites see tons of knockoff luxury products: we're talking about shit like bags, shoes, electronics, you fucking name it. sellers make bank by passing these off as the real deal to buyers looking for “discounts.” the issue? trademark violations. counterfeit sales can lead to shit like fines or even jail time, especially if the brands go after them.

Frequent flier mile hustles
Money Money Smoking GIF

basically, people sign up for a shitton of credit cards with high bonus points or exploit the “refer a friend” programs by creating fake accounts. then, they turn around and sell those airline miles or points for cash. it’s technically fraud if you’re not following the terms (like, only using it for personal travel), and some airlines ban you for life if they catch on.

Using bots to snag rare items for resale

this one’s huge in the sneaker and gaming world. people set up bots to instantly buy limited-edition sneakers, game consoles, or anything in high demand the moment they drop. then, they resell them for 2-3x the price. many sites now explicitly ban bots, and it’s illegal in some places, but the resale profits are fucking WILD if you’re flying under the radar.

Click fraud in digital advertising

some people create websites or apps stuffed with a shitton of ads, then use bots or hired click farms to click on those ads and inflate their revenue. every fake click = money in their pocket, at least until ad networks notice a suspicious spike and shut them down (sometimes with legal consequences).

Renting out multiple Airbnbs illegally
J Balvin GIF by Complex

in some cities, short-term rentals are regulated or outright banned without a license, but people still run under-the-table Airbnbs. they might rent apartments under fake identities, avoid registering with the city, or list them as “long-term” but only accept short stays. yes, it’s lucrative, but if cities catch wind, it's fucking over.
they can fine them heavily, revoke permits, or even evict tenants.

Faking vintage/antique items for resale
Vintage Money GIF by Challenger

people distress new items to look old (especially furniture, clothes, and decor), then sell them as “vintage” or “antique” for way more money. technically, it’s fraud if it’s knowingly misrepresented, but since buyers often don’t have a way to verify authenticity, some people make bank until a knowledgeable collector catches on.

Gold-digging and “sugar” dating scams (yes, this is real)
Gold Digging GIF by Premium-Goats

some people (typically “sugar babies”) aren’t really looking for romance, just someone willing to fuck over cash, gifts, or even paychecks for attention. it’s not always illegal, but let’s just say some people bend the lines between dating and straight-up scamming, faking feelings or situations to milk more cash from their so-called “partners.” fucked up, but works I guess.

Repackaging cheap supplements as “premium” brands
Episode 1 What GIF by The Simpsons

this is funny as fuck to me. retards buy cheap supplements in bulk, repackage them in fancy containers, and sell them as high-end, organic, or specialized products. it’s lucrative because these retards pay for the branding, not knowing they’re getting a $3 pill dressed up as a $40 miracle cure 😂. but, there’s a lot of health and safety regulation around this, and getting caught can land you in deep trouble with the FDA or equivalent.



CONCLUSION

AGAIN, just because some people “get away” with these things doesn’t mean it’s worth trying.
