To make money you need time, talent, work and dedication. Ei well some people chose to look for shortcuts<\/strong> and finding their fortune via all kinds of illegal tricks, but some went even further making some scams absolutely stupid, but somehow worked, at least a period.<\/p>\n

Scamming someone isn\u2019t all that easy I must admit but the scams I\u2019m about to reveal to you are the most outrageous and rather easy, with huuge winnings to their cause. Want some new car<\/a>? No problem, you could teach your cat to burgle<\/strong> in to people homes and steal jewelries.<\/p>\n

Scamming usually requires a complicated scheme between<\/strong> numerous people that dizzy the beholder of the target money in such a way he willingly gets rid of it and redistribute the placing of da money. \u201cShoow me da money. Show me da money!<\/em>\u201d Yah. Geez how stupid can someone be.<\/p>\n

Instead the following schemes I\u2019m about to reveal to you are done by singular persons that succeeded in their quest rather stupid and easy, making you wonder how stupid people can really be<\/strong>, if they were stupid in normal cases, lemme entertain you with the real stupidity<\/a> someone can show. It\u2019s not that hard to be stupid. Just let your imagination go<\/strong> and others will be handling the rest.<\/p>\n

Skipping the chatty stupid mood and get going with straight to number eight<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Geraldine Elisabeth Carmichael<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"dale<\/h2>\n

In the 70\u2019s America, the oil was a very much extinct resource, the gas shortage has overwhelmed<\/strong> the country and throughout all that madness appears Geraldine Elisabeth Carmichael<\/a> with the perfect solution.<\/p>\n

She announced that she is the widow to an NASA engineer and that he invented the ideal car, a 3 wheel automobile named The Dale<\/a> that can go 100 km with 3 litters of gas<\/strong>, costs nearly under 2000 dollars and it\u2019s build with a revolutionary material that would support an impact with a wall at 80 Km\/h with no deterioration whatsoever.<\/p>\n

For the wonder-car there were made callings from all America gathering rapidly $3 Millions before even presenting<\/strong> a prototype and the car that seemed too good to be true, it was in fact too good to be true in the meaning that it didn\u2019t even exist and Elizabeth had invented the whole story.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rather bizarre that everybody had been trusting Elizabeth<\/strong>, probably she didn\u2019t really believed how easy is to become a millionaire.\u00a0Of course at some point the clients wanted their cars, and those wouldn\u2019t come.<\/p>\n

“ She wasn\u2019t even a woman ”<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The three hangars rented for the assumed construction were checked out and it was been discovered that they are completely empty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Elizabeth ran already and changed her identity but some years later she was caught and it was constituted that her lies were much bigger<\/strong> that it was initially believed. Not only she wasn\u2019t the wife of a NASA engineer, not only she didn\u2019t build any car but she wasn\u2019t even a woman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Geraldine Elizabeth Carmichael was in fact Gerry Dean Michael a crook seek by the authorities that disguised himself as a woman for starting a new life. We must applaud him a little for the creativity<\/strong> in choosing the name. Before he was called Gerry Dean Michael, and as a woman he took the name CAR-Michael. Nice\u2026<\/p>\n

7. George McGregor<\/h2>\n

Along the time there were lotsa people selling bad stuff or even inexistent<\/strong>. Anyhow, to sell piece by piece a country that was inexistent it\u2019s something that\u2019s one of a kind. George McGregor it was a colonel that fought in the South America during the freeing war for Venezuela<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When he came back he began to tell everybody that he was made prince in a little country in South America<\/strong> called Poias. Of course it wasn\u2019t true. This country it didn\u2019t existed nowhere on the map, but with all that George McGregor began to sell obligations, currency, land, work rights and mostly anything he could sell from his imaginary country.<\/p>\n

He opened various Embassies<\/strong> on England\u2019s territory, he wrote a Constitution for his invented country and as well a book, some kind of a guide to the future colonists in which he said the country is full of cropping land<\/strong>, natural resources and cheap force of labor. When the first round of 200 colonists embarked on the ship and sailed to the inexistent island, George understood that it was time to flee from England<\/strong> so he ran.<\/p>\n

Of course the colonists ship never found a country called Poias and came back to England but the so called prince of Poias already ran in France where he started again his activity selling obligations and land in his fairy country. After a while he was caught and arrested<\/strong> for a short period. After he was freed he continued to pretend he was a prince, even he advanced becoming now a president and he continued trying selling land for colonists but already nobody would take him serious.<\/p>\n

6. Somebody<\/h2>\n

\"biggest<\/p>\n

The maximum price that was permitted for an Apple application is $1000<\/strong> and precisely that amount was the price for the application named \u201cI am rich<\/a>\u201d, an application that does not do anything.<\/p>\n

After you paid $1000 you get the application that has a shiny jewelry on the screen and a text that brags about how rich are you<\/strong>. The application does not pretend to do more. The declared purpose of it is:\u201d To show your friends how rich are you<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

This application was in the store for 24 hours until Apple removed it<\/strong> and in the meanwhile 8 people bought it. Eight people spent $1000 for an application that does not do a thing and that doesn\u2019t say it does something.\u00a0 The creator did easily $8000<\/strong> from an application which he created in a few hours and till this day he doesn\u2019t understand why the application was removed from the store cause in the end he didn\u2019t broke any rule.<\/p>\n

We tend to give him the upper hand and taking money from wealthy people<\/strong> capable of giving $1000 for nothing is not necessarily a scam but rather a just redistribution of the wealth.<\/p>\n
