Who knows how long it will take before the government tries to ban the CrookBook. Get you copy today! Before it's to late! Here's a sample chapter... Enjoy...
The "system" is a series of checks and balances. It's an insiders club and
unless you know the rules or are willing to break them, you'll probably
never have a pot to piss in. Not....
Where does it say, we have to put up with, read about or watch on TV, the
exploits of people like Donald Trump, Robin Leach or one of the "Kennedy's".
Personally, I'm tired hearing about all their bullshit. Who gives a shit
what Hillary or Tipper are wearing either?
When people like "The Donald" make a poor business investment and can't pay
their bills on time, what do they do? They renegotiate. Yep, that's right.
They tell the bank "I can't pay" but I'm such a fabulous person you should
renegotiate my loan. Bullshit!
How fast do you think the bank would have you or me out on our ass? In
record time, right? Money is power and unless you have money you're
powerless right? Not...
Money is an illusion. Power is an illusion. Both are projected by cunning
and affluent people and organizations to get what they want. And, if they
can't pay for it, they go bankrupt or renegotiate. Why should they have all
that luxury and not us? Hell, I can default on a loan as well as any of them!
Almost every company in America will ship you goods on credit if you project
the right image, ask the right questions and have the right answers...People
will kiss your ass if they think you have great wealth. The best resturants
will seat you "up front" if they think "you're a player".
Why not? Sounds good to me...
Is this method for acquiring material things legal? Hell no! But half the
shit Big Brother does to us everyday isn't legal either...Want to ride
around town in a big black imported car for free? How about a brand new
Pentium computer for the office? The kids want Mopeds? Nooooooo problem! Pay
attention.
Picking a company name...
What's in a name? Business wise it could mean everything...if you want to
get over. It also has a lot to do with what you want to acquire for free.
Let's say you want to start a new business and need all-types of office
equipment.
You could call yourself "Sal's Pizzeria" but that wouldn't wash too well
when you're trying to establish a $100,000 line of credit. Most credit
managers will dump the application in the round file and require COD cash.
Not the best choice of names. How about something like Tri-Star Industries
Intl or RCA Electronics? The idea is to project the image of a big well
known company. Joe's Paving Company won't work either...think of a large
company and play with the name...something that gives the illusion of being
a huge conglomerate like MicroSoft Corporation but in fact you use Microsoft
Labs. Inc. Close but no cigar, get the idea? When you speak with a salesman
you tell him you're from MicroSoft...
I know someone who put together a company called Tandy Merchandising. When
he applied for credit with vendors he alluded to being the buying agent for
Tandy Corporation (Radio Shack) but sent purchase orders stating his
company was Tandy Merchandising. The greedy salesman always figure it's a
subsidiary and try their best to push initial orders through credit in hopes
of "getting the big one". This guy always ordered two dozen "pieces"
as a sample order. The list of stings was impressive. He also always ordered the
best model of everything with all the options. Imagine having two dozen
Pentium computers, laser printers, desktop scanners, big screen televisions,
fully blown out stereos with speakers, ect, etc, etc. These things can be
turned into easy cash...
The goods you can acquire are only limited by your imagination...lets say
you want to open your own recording studio. No problem. Put together a "wish
list" and cut the purchase order. Fax it to the appropriate vendor and wait
for the salesman to call. Oh yeah, I forgot a few things. You'll need to set
up first...
Let's say for the purposes of this lesson we're gonna pick RCA Electronics
as our name, not to be confused (God forbid) with RCA - Radio Corporation of
America, the giant who made the radio, phonographs and television famous.
Sounds like a good name to me. Imagine the greedy son of a bitch salesman at
the "Blue Widget" company when you call and say you're "John Smith
(think of something better), vice president of corporate purchasing for RCA" and you
need 50,000 blue widgets. I guarantee the salesman will shit...but "since
you got burned, dealing with XYZ company you'll require 500 samples ($200
each) for testing purposes". You must have them within ten days for
evaluation and you'll send along a purchase order. I guarantee the order
flys through processing . They will extend you Net 30 days payment without
even blinking. They want the big order.
Acquiring dummy corporate papers
To open up a bank account you'll need a corporate seal and certificate of
incorporation. You'll also need a Federal Tax ID number. Certain states may
vary but generally this is all that is required.
Find a corporate resolution book from somewhere and get the certificate of
incorporation. This is the proof that the corporation is registered with the
state. Get a good typewriter, preferably one with interchangeable fonts.
Make a copy of the certificate of incorporation and "white out" the
corporate name. Insert your bogus corporate name (RCA Electronics Inc.) on
the original and make a good photocopy. You should now have a good photocopy
of the certificate of incorporation with your bogus corporate name on it.
Now you need a corporate seal. Let your fingers do the walking through the
yellow pages and find a company that makes rubber stamps. Generally these
companies also make corporate seals. Call them up and tell them you lost
your company seal and need a replacement to "do a deal" in a hurry. Most
places will take the order and have the new seal with your bogus corporate
name on it in a few days.The cost is usually about $20. You'll have to
supply them with the corporate name, year and state of incorporation. Get
this info off the certificate of incorporation you liberated. Pickup the
seal in a few days and you're all set. Be sure to get a tax ID number. In
the New York area they generally start with 13-xxxxxx. The second set of
numbers is seven digits long.
Opening a bank account
Wait a minute. What is this? I thought we were robbing this stuff? Why do we
need a bank account? The simple answer is, some companies no matter how well
you try, will always require a company check with the first order. I suggest
staying away from these companies but sometimes they have merchandise you're
ALMOST willing to die for...No problem. The check is gonna bounce
anyway...You'll also need a bank account for a reference (don't worry we'll
cover that).
Put a few hundred in your pocket, drive out of your area, and pick a large
commercial bank. DO NOT do this in your neighborhood or local small town!
Pick an area away from where you live. Dress well and wait until 15 minutes
before the bank closes for the day...Everyone is always in a hurry to get to
happy hour right?
Find an officer or new account teller and tell them you want to open a
business checking account. All you need is the corporate seal, certificate
of incorporation and the tax ID number. They might require personal ID so
show them your phony drivers license (see Creating a New Identity). You'll
need to fill out a few forms, stamp your corporate seal and before you know
it you're out the door with your starter checkbook. The real checkbook will
be delivered by UPS in about 7-10 days. Make sure you've given the "drops"
address not your own. Try to pick a bank that will give you an ATM card.
They're always nice to have in order to get your cash back...
Setting up the drop
You'll need an office to operate out of and I suggest a small suite with
reception area and one private office. Find an office with a good address
(RCA wouldn't be on the poor side of town) and rent it for cash. Usually
this will require the first months rent and two months deposit. You DON'T
HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY! Keep it cheap. You're not gonna be there that
long...provide the landlord with phony ID also. DO NOT RENT AN OFFICE NEAR
YOUR HOME OR NORMAL PLACE OF BUSINESS.
Call the telephone company and order two phone lines. Try and get a "Gold"
number like 555-5000 or 666-4900. Something that sounds like a "big company"
telephone number. Make sure the fax number is not one digit off the
telephone number like: Tel: 555-5000 and Fax: 555-5001. This obviously means
only two lines. Don't ever make a personal call from these telephone lines.
Don't ever call home or anyone you know personally, not even a beeper. These
phones are for the "sting" They will be investigated after you're gone. Make
sure they find nothing. Remember, you want to give the impression of a
large company. If the telephone company wants your reach number, give them a
voice mail number ringing into your beeper that you have acquired for cash
in a fictitious name. NEVER GIVE YOUR REAL NUMBER OR INFO. The phone company
usually requires a few hundred dollars deposit for two business telephone
lines. Pay it. It's chicken feed compared to what you're gonna make. Make
sure you order voice mail with remote access on the telephone line. It is
not necessary on the fax line. When the lines are installed, place a
single-line phone with "hold" on the telephone line and a fax machine on the
fax line.
Next step is get a female (we're not trying to be sexist but most telephone
receptionists ARE female) who's "in" on the sting to answer the phone. She
would say something like "Good morning, RCA, please hold" and immediately
put each incoming call on hold for about 30 seconds. This gives the
impression of a busy switchboard. When she comes back on the line she would
say something like "How may I direct your call, please hold...while I
connect you"...Get the picture? Another nice touch is if you get one of
those GOOD voice changing machines so she can come back on the line as "your
secretary". Again, you must create the impression of a large company. If you
have a few people in on the "sting" let them answer, creating the illusion a
large department.
Credit References
Gee, how are we gonna establish credit? We're only a few days in
business...Right. You are what you say you are! Most companies require three
credit references. Sometimes more. Set up your own references.
Go back to the friendly out-of-the-neighborhood beeper guy and setup four
voice mail beepers. Always pay cash. No record. Program the message on each
one differently. Something like "Hello, you've reached Northstar
Distributors, all lines are busy right now, we value your business, please
leave your name and telephone number and one of our representatives will
return your call in a few minutes. Thank you for calling NorthStar". The
"mark" will ask for "John Doe" the credit manager to return
his call. When the beeper goes off, simply make note of the caller, wait a
few minutes, and return the call to "John Doe" giving "good"
not "super excellent" credit info. You don't want to draw suspicion.
Generally, if you're trying to rip off $10,000. worth of merchandise you
would give a credit reference of something like "yeah, RCA has done
business with us for about 6 years, their high credit is $30,000-$40,000.
dollars and their terms are Net 30. They pay their bills on time...No
problems...They're a good customer"...Every once in a while, you might
question the "mark", "Hey, what do you guys sell? Not the same things as me
I hope. I don't wanna lose this customer"...Heh, heh... it ALWAYS
works...Remember, use different voices or a GOOD voice changer..
Program two more beepers the same way with different company names that are
your "credit references". Have each voice mail ask the "mark" to
leave a name and telephone number for a prompt response. Make sure the "credit
references" are large sounding companies with a resident credit manager or
officer who handles credit.
Program the fourth beeper as the bank. remember the credit application
always asks for the bank, bank account number and the number of an officer
to contact. The message might sound something like "Hi, this is Joseph
Cupcakes...I'm away from my desk right now, please leave your name and
telephone number and I'll get right back to you...If this is an internal
bank message, you can reach me at extension 316". The "mark" has no way
of reaching extension "316" so he will assume he HAS reached the bank and leave
his name and phone number for the bank officer to return his call.
Wait a few hours or even until the next day. Have the "bank officer" call
back the "mark" and ask what this is in reference to...when he hears it's a
credit reference he should be "reluctant" to give info at first. Credit
managers are used to that. It gives the appearance of normal bank resistance
to divulge customer information. After a little prodding have the "bank
officer" agree to divulge that "RCA" maintains several accounts of
"mid-six figure numbers" in that bank and is a customer in "good
standing". Translated, it means that "RCA" has a few "million"
on deposit with that bank. The "bank officer" might also add "Don't
you know who RCA is?" Again, it creates the illusion of power and money and
appeals BIG time to the GREED of the "mark".
Dun & Bradstreet Reports
Good old D&B. The ultimate business information network. Bullshit. The only
thing that goes into an initial D&B report is what YOU TELL THEM. Believe it
or not, I know several people that have acquired D&B reports on real
companies, copied the financial statements and passed them off as their own.
Pick a company that does several million dollars worth of business with an
excellent D&B rating and copy their financial statement. Include it with
your applaication and D&B will give you the same rating!
Call D&B and request a D&B number. They will give you one right over the
telephone. Ask them to fax over a credit rating application. Fill it out and
attach a copy of the "liberated" financial statement. In a week or so
someone will call from D&B to "go over" the rating form. Of course, you'll
be waiting with all the "right answers" and in a few days you'll have your
new D&B credit rating stating that your company is worth "several million
dollars" and "pays it's bills on time". D&B will actually send you a
copy in the mail and this can also be attached to any credit application your
filling out to "sting" a company. Sometimes D&B checks the bank. Not always.
Don't worry about it, your "bank officer" is waiting anyway...
Getting the Loot...
Now that you've got the office with telephone and fax in place (some prefer
a laptop instead of fax and typewriter), you're just about ready to start.
You must now do your homework. Make a complete list of what you're ordering,
from whom and how many of each you need. Have backup vendor companies in
case one or more vendor companies is "out of stock" on an item. To expedite
the ordering process place a call to the "mark" companies and request a
quote on the items.
The request should sound something like this "Hi, this is Rufus Teapot, I'm
at corporate purchasing with RCA. I have a request for six Pentium 133 Mhz
computers with 40 Meg RAM, built in CD rom with high speed internal modems.
They also want 20" color monitors. I need a firm quote. I'm getting ready to
cut a purchase order. Can you fax me that quote today? I need to get three
bids. I need delivery by Friday" (3 days away). Do you have the items in
stock? Can you get them here here by Friday? Otherwise I have to go
elsewhere. If these computers fit the bill, we'll need 60
more"....Guaranteed the salesman is getting a woody...In a short while
you'll recieve the firm quote. You'll also receive a credit application.
Great care should be given to the preparation of the purchase order. You
must insert exactly the same information and model numbers that are on the
price quote. You don't want anything to slow the process. Great care should
be given to the design of the purchase order. If you're trying to shadow the
real RCA, get one of their purchase orders and design yours to look the
same. You don't need a printer. Do it with a desktop publishing program. It
also adds "illusion" when you add something like "4500 outlets throughout
the USA" on it.
When the salesman asks for the completed credit report say something like
"Ok, I'll get that done for you. By the way we're rated 1A by D&B. That
should be all you need. I'll fax over a copy of our financial with a copy of
our D&B report". The salesman will have the credit manager by the neck to
approve the order and your goods will be winging their way to you in no time...
It's as simple as that...
Oh, by the way. UPS will deliver the merchandise unless you ask for FedEx or
DHL. No problem. Sign for it and get a van to cart it away. It's not STOLEN
merchandise yet. You applied for and got credit right? No one is screaming
fraud yet right? You have about a thirty day "window" to get any and all
merchandise you want. After that the "mark" companies will be looking for
payment. Be smart. Get out of the "sting" location after three weeks. The
average "sting" can get you $100,000 dollars worth of merchandise
for free.
DON'T EVER GO BACK FOR ANY REASON. DON'T BE GREEDY. This scam is so sweet
you can do it over and over from different location for years and years.
There is NO WAY to track you if you followed this plan. Also, DON'T EVER HIT
THE SAME COMPANY TWICE...DON'T USE THE SAME BOGUS COMPANY NAME TWICE. LOSE
THE BEEPERS. ETC. ETC ETC. BE SMART.....
Setting up a Dummy Corporation...
