is this you by any chance?
There is no legal way to make quick money.
well, if you can't even drive a van, a bike, cook, waiter tables then by all means, you can always suck cocks.
but even if you are marooned in a country so foreign that the alphabet is hieroglyphics, you can always wash pots. This works even if you are a farmer and want to go off on a cargo ship, they'll always allow you to wash pots and help the cook.
If all that is still no good then kill yourself.
I don't consider minimum wage money.
Certainly you can do a lot of menial jobs and make a little cash, but you can't make any real money. To make any real money, legally, you will have to invest some time, knowledge, understanding and potentially skill. Regardless of what it is.
Fraud. I love it.My old and never put into practice idea would be to set up a premium phone line at $5 a minute then go into all these firms pretending to be collecting a package, when they have no package just ask to use the phone to find a contact name ext. # (as you do) and phone the premium number for 10 mins at a time.

Or you could just rob a bank.

Do that with every firm on every floor of every building for a while.
Chances are a $50 phone call won't even get noticed by these big firms, and virtually every company use dispatch riders, at least in London.
Doing 100 companies on a 12 hours day is perfectly feasible,and there are enough companies around for one to just milk $50 each company every six months, so in theory it could bring almost 2 mil per year.
In practice I am not sure what'd happen.
...dispatch riding on a bike in London can bring in even $5k weekly if you know what you are doing, and you can start without knowing what you are doing (at $400 weekly set wage), although admittedly it can be dangerous for beginners.
You can then develop it.

This is an old scam. The Russian mafia here in NYC did that on a pretty large scale, made over $50M from it, but of course it was shut down after a few years. Most places these days won't let the delivery people or outsiders use the phone, not to mention almost everyone has a cell phone nowadays, I even see cops using their phones.
The scam is a lot more elaborate than you may think. I know of a group in Aruba who I'm friends with and they run something like this now, but not from Aruba. There's an area code in the Carribean somewhere with a US looking area code, and it acts as a 900 number. So they charge something like $20-$90 per call, regardless of how long someone is on it, and they market it as a psychic line or some type of support hotline for products. They bank REALLY hard from it too. The phone companies pay them, and will charge the victim no matter what. They can't fight it because it was clearly made from the location of the phone number, so they'll charge you regardless. The phone companies know it's a scam too, but they don't do shit about it because it's cheaper for them to just charge you knowing they'll win and make a profit anyhow. The FTC/FCC, FBI and INTERPOL have been onto this scam for a looooong time (not on my friends from what I know, but definitely on the whole idea of it). If ya make the call, get ready to pay for it. My buddies doing it went from working on the beach and selling marijuana to tourists to making well over $30M a year from it. They are good peoples aside for the scam, but to them, it's not a scam, they have a totally different mentality than Americans do. They told me that to them if it exists, and the phone companies pay you for it, then it's legal in their eyes.
The scam is smart, and it does make A LOT of money, but if you're an American, you can be sure you will be arrested by the feds and sent to jail for a loooooooooong time, or if you do it offshore it would be safe to say that if you want to stay a free person you should never set foot on US soil again, for the rest of your life. So the real question that remains is.. is it worth it?
I know my morals, ethics and standards are pretty shitty, and while I find this idea so fucking cool and tempting, sorry, but I wouldn't fuck with the feds on any level, nor would I be willing to trade money and wealth in exchange for never being able to set foot in the US ever again. Not to mention you'd probably feel like a war criminal for the rest of your life as you'd have to watch your back and live a super paranoid life for the rest of your days.
Some things just aren't worth it. But to each his own.
Even without the scam being a motorcycle courier in London is fuckin dangerous if ya don't know what you're doing!
It's been around for ages and been on TV a lot too - did ya see it on 'the real hustle' or something else late night bbc 2? Think is was on there recently. lol.
Regardless of the lack of ethics - some minimum wage receptionist would prob get the blame - you'd need a lot of balls to try and pull that one off...
... but then again, this is not America, there aint no feds and no "paranoia for the rest of one's life".
What? There's more CCTV camera's in the UK per capita than anywhere else in the World! Most of em in London... They've created and are feeding the paranoia man.... it's given them a great excuse to crack down on civil liberties.. cunts.
Do you know I can top my credit card at 30 grand and say I have no money to repay and nothing will happen? I can then RE-APPLY to the same bank and do same trick every 5 years?? True stuff mate, it ain't a criminal offence, the police have nothing to do with it so nobody can even force entry into your home, lol don't get me started on this shit on a public forum.
