1) THE CHARITY SCAM.
This one is pretty easy to get away with. All you need is some nice clothing ( a suit, button up shirt & khakis. If you don't have any, your local thrift shop will for cheap..or you can just wear it out of the store), some believable accessories (pamphlets, sign, table, lock box,.. it all depends on how you do the scam), and the right attitude.
You can either set up outside a business or school, or free roam around neighborhoods. If you want to be stationary, you first have to make a sign to show what your "charity" is for. You can use anything from a church in need, to feeding the poor (that's my favorite, because its partly true). Make your sign big and bright. Poster-board works well. Once you have your sign and are dressed to impress, grab something to put your collected money in (a lock box works well). Go out and set up a small table, or large box, at a very busy location. Place your sign in front of your set up. Put your box on the table with a few of your own dollars in it, to give the impression that others have already donated. As people walk by, hit them up for money! Tell them about your charity and how every little bit helps. Do this for a little while and see how much you can get. Personally, I wouldn't recommend doing this scam in this way, only because your more like to get caught.
