So, guys, I'm sitting on Facebook, monitoring the public "Anti-fraudster", and you know what, I started scrolling through the wall to the end, and came across an interesting post. Some schoolboy (well, not a schoolboy, about 17 years old by the look of it) complained. I'll give you the post in general terms, but the meaning is clear. I'm writing this because the guy wrote it in a jumbled way, a lot of letters, and the forum needs unique text.

"So and so, there was an ad about recruiting extras, a circus of burnt clowns was supposedly coming to our city to shoot a movie. They posted an ad in the group, saying that extras were needed, they were paying $5 a day. I wrote a personal message to the author of the ad, we got to talking, she said that I was very impressive, that they needed just such an actor, since the last one had gotten lost somewhere, that they would pay $0.2 for the filming, that in short, everything was great. It was like the director just needed to approve the candidate, but you're the guy they needed. She asked me how my diction was, how my memory was, whether I had any speech defects, whether I had a limp, etc.
Then half a day passed, and the woman herself wrote to me, saying, so and so, the director looked at your photos, you're a normal guy. Come on, come to the address "Prospect of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Liberation of the Circus from the Burnt "Clown House Five", let's chat. Just grab your portfolio.
So I didn't get it, what kind of portfolio? The woman tells me, "Well, we need your photos in professional quality. Without a portfolio, it's impossible. We need to capture different facial expressions in the photos, etc."
So I said, "Well, I don't have one, where can I get one?"
The woman says, "Okay, I'll write later, we'll sort it out."
An hour later she writes ,
"Here's the phone number of a photographer I know, call, make arrangements, and go to him."
I called the number, the photographer said that he had been warned, but the photo shoot was a paid one, it cost $30.
So I took the $30, went, they took some photos of me, paid, and took the photos.
Then I got in touch with a woman, the woman said that the circus had burned down, the clowns had run away, and in general there would be no movies - the electricity had run out. In general, I was left without $30, without the career of Alain Delon, but with photos (of shitty quality at that)"

And now, directly, what is the essence of the scam. Well, as I see it, for example.
First. We agree with any photographer in any city. Even if you are in Novoyebenyaevka, which is in Chukotka, it doesn't matter. You can find a photographer, for example, in Kiev. Since the work is strictly online.
We find (well, for example, in the same Facebook), and say "So and so, I offer you a job, I send clients to you, you get 50% of the profit for me."
Alternatively, you can work either alone (both as a swindler and as a photographer), or in a pair with someone. Here it is already at your discretion.
Second. We organize a pumped-up Facebook page. Women's optional. Because women are more trusted.
Third. We write in the groups of the city where we will be working, an announcement of approximately the following content.
"On the 25th-25th of this month, there will be a film shoot at such and such a place. Extras needed. We pay $5 per snout. From 9 am to 6 pm. We feed, water, kiss your ass. Contact us in private messages for an appointment. We indicate the date + 10-15 days from the date of the ad. Like, the filming will take place in a week or two."

Freeloaders start writing to us (well, of course, such a way to earn some money :)), we first say, "Yes, tell me your full name and phone number, I'll sign you up."
The sucker gives her full name and phone number. And then we casually write, "Listen, I've been clicking on your photos, it seems you're the one we need. How is your diction? How is your free time? We need an actor for a supporting role, we'll indicate it in the credits, we'll give you twenty $30, everything will be fine, "You'll become a star"
The Terpilo replies "Well, in principle, you can"
We start screwing the dick into the ear, regarding "That's great, I'll talk to the director now, he's the one who decides our issues, I'm just the manager. Wait."

We drag the cat out by the balls a little, stall for time, then write
"That's it, the director looked at your photos, he liked you, which means you'll be the guy who gets killed. According to the script, you only have one dialogue there, so you can handle it, there's nothing difficult there. Take your portfolio and come to the address Pushkin Street, Kolotushkin House"
The Terpilo replies "What kind of portfolio?"
We naturally say "Oh, well, yes, you're not a professional actor, I screwed up. Well, you need a portfolio. High-quality photos, with different emotions on your face. You can't do without that."
The Terpilo says "Where can I get one, I don't have one"
We say "Well, I don't either I know, you're not an actor, you don't know how to take pictures. But that's okay, I'll solve the problem now, wait a minute."
We wait half an hour, then write
"So and so, I found a photographer through mutual friends, he knows what a portfolio is, here's his number, call and make arrangements."
The sucker might say
"Can't I take pictures myself?"
We answer "Of course not, you have to fake emotions here, you need a professional photographer who knows how and what to do."
So the sucker calls the photographer, he says
"Yes, I've already been warned, my shoot costs $30. Here's the address, come over."
Well, accordingly, the sucker takes $30, pays, takes the photo, receives the photos in his hands, bows, leaves..

Then we write to the sucker "Oops, sorry, the circus burned down, the clowns ran away, the shoot is postponed indefinitely. But that's okay, we'll call as soon as possible.Right away"

What do we have as a bottom line? The scheme is white - because the person completely honestly paid for the photographs that were provided to him. You can't find fault

The only hardest thing is to find a photographer and come to an agreement with him. And so that he doesn't screw you over later
. Here you either have to look for different photographers in different cities, or tour the cities yourself. And plan for all the moments. Think over the legend - what kind of movie, when they're filming, what role the sucker will play, and so on. Well, in general, I think you get the idea.

But otherwise, well, the guy was screwed, so the scheme works. I think with the right approach, at least two or three suckers can be processed per day... and what do you think? Write in the comments...

Thanks for your attention.
