Not the fastest way to make money, but social engineering is fun. I just recently lead on the whole avatar board by saying that my daughter had lost and FQD in a lend (an old gambit of mine if you've seen the troll thread) and that I needed to bring the guy to justice. They all freaked out and told me not to post his username lest I be frozen, so I told them my daughter really needed it back and if reporting the guy would get me the FQD back. Obviously the answer was no, so a couple of kind souls (suckers) offered to donate one to me, but I kept the game running to long and they grew leery and I missed my opportunity. I tried again last night but they've caught on to me.
So, what's your favorite scam?

I used to tell people I needed them to watch my pets when I went on vacation.
I would make trades in the trading post asking for people to NM me if they were interested.
I had a whole script written up pretty much, for anything they would say back.
Essentially I told them I would give them my password, but they needed to give me theirs too because that was only fair.
It worked surprisingly well back then LOL
I used to get big stolen Accounts with 300+ avs and go to AC, make a board saying I needed MSPP or BGC lends ;D
It worked once with a BGC, but they froze me with it xD
People usually do that...

I remember I would NM resellers asking if they wanted to buy my SUPER RARE MAGICAL gold chomby plushie. I'd ask like 300k and a lot of people fell for it. Cause it was just a regular gold chomby plushie. I made like 15m over a few weeks :P

your talking about when they would log in ur account after u "gave them it" and they changed the pw and u sent the pw to urself via email and checked if it was the same as there accounts? ahahahha that was so epic.

See, the chomby thing amazes me, everyone on Neo is so cautious. Until you appeal to the emotions, they'll just call you a scammer and report you. That's why you have to lower your ethical standards and tell them your best friend died and reap the sympathy gifts. :)
