I need your wisdom about a sketchy way to earn money I'm about to do.
    #14517277 - 05/26/11 07:37 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Alright so I get a message from one of my friends on facebook today saying he knew an easy way to get a shit ton of money. He said he knew this guy who was going to give us enough money to buy 5 iPhones. He said all we got to do is buy the iPhones with his money then give him the iPhones. Apparently he knows someone who can sell them in another country for a big profit. he said he would give me 200 hundred dollars to do it.

So it made sense to me and I figured I had nothing to lose since he was giving me the money to buy them anyways so I agreed. So me my friend and one of his friends drove up to the mall. And met the guy . He handed me 1800 dollars and I walked in and was about to buy them but then I realized I had to sign up for a plan too. this sketched me out and I told the worker I would have to call my family about it. so I called the guy and he said not to worry about the plan cuz he knew someone who worked at an apple store who could void my contract. apparently this is some elaborate underground system. I got sketched out cuz if he wasn't able to void the contract that would mean I would have to pay 99 dollars every month for the next 2 years.

He was pretty pissed that I didn't follow through and my friend kinda was to because I made him look bad. so my friend made 200 dollars.

They said they were going to do it tomorrow again in 2 places but said if I came I had to follow through this time.

So it's a pretty much garunteed way to earn 500 dollars the only thing I'm worried about is if they can't void the contract then I'm fucked for the next 2 years. should I do it?

Don't be naive. These guys are scamming you in some way, even if you can't figure out how yet. Don't do it.

Yeah man, I agree. If you want money, do it in a legit sense. Get rich quick schemes may help you in short term, but fuck you over later on*.. and this doesn't even seem like you're getting anything short term. Fuck that dude, don't do it.

It sounds like you are getting fucked over by the contracts while they resell the phones for the selling price without a contract.

the only thing Im worried about is if they can't void the contract.

But it makes sense they said the only reason he can't do it is because he can't personally just keep buying iPhones because the store would catch on that he was reselling them. So basically were just getting paid to buy them for him.

I can't decide what to do.

Yeah. Its not very elaborate. The phones are only cheaper because you're signing up for the contract. You can then just sell them on eBay for more money. The whole thing is based on someone being able to void the contract, but if that person does not exist op is the only one thats gonna get fucked over.

I know a guy in India, apparently electronics go for 1.5-2x as much over there as they do over here. He's legit too, and I'm gonna give him a shot, but I'm only starting off with small stuff like earbuds and computer speakers first. So if somehow it's a scam I won't lose money worth worrying about. I'm pretty sure I can trust him though, and if this works out we could make a pretty penny, especially once we move on to bigger stuff...apparently Hummers and things like that go for WAYY more over there too...

I sure as fuck wouldn't sign any contracts though.

I'd think you'd need somewhat of an "elaborate" way to cancel all the contracts.  These are national retailers.  I'd think they'd notice if hundreds (perhaps thousands) of phones went missing.

That's exactly what I was thinking to. the thing is my friend did it and brought one of his friends along to. He said he already did it and he never got a bill. So he would have to be in on it to. lol I guess I should mention I'm the only white person in this group. I'm not racist but I have known some black people that like to  take advantage over white peoples lack of street smarts.

Yeah doesn't seem worth it.  Even if they are voiding them, thats pretty much documented theft and whoever is doing it will get caught sooner rather than later.

The dude doesn't know anyone who can void the contract with Apple.
If he did, he would just buy the phones himself.
He's forcing you to get stuck with the contracts, while he's home free with the phones.
If your friend is really siding with him, your friend is not the brightest crayon in the box.
