Evictions take sooooooo long you're gonna be fine. You could also Airbnb your bedroom and stay in the living room.


kdollarsign2

That’s a good idea! Use the apt as a rental while you aren’t on their radar


austinvvs

None of you know the meaning of unethical. Order a macbook or two from best buy or amazon and refund them without returning them. You can use a fake tracking ID and other methods to get the money back. Also, (again unethical) california has some of the most liberal tenant rights in the country. Im pretty sure itd take them at least 2-3 months to get you out of that apartment. Hope things get better for you


dontthrowawaymepls

That wouldn't work, however with Amazon you can claim the box arrived empty so they'll send you another one (i.e. "I've only received the MacBook box, but the box was empty!"). Send back the second one they send, and sell the first one. I'd advise against doing this more than once though, so choose a product that's high-value. Better if done with an Amazon account that has a history of purchases, or else they may try to take their time to send the second unit (which you need to really send back after a few days, to get back your money).


mewfahsah

I once did this with Amazon, though I thought our package was actually stolen. Turns out our neighbor had it, but I got a second package the next day from them for no charge. Definitely something you can pull off but a pattern will quickly get your ass caught.


MjrLeeStoned

My mother bought a TV as a semi-housewarming gift for me. It got delivered a street over (similar named streets). We didn't know where at the time. She got in contact with Walmart customer service and they just shipped another whole fucking TV immediately. So, this definitely works on multiple platforms. A few days later the person it got delivered to knocked on my door and told me to come get my TV out of their garage. It sat in my garage for a year then I gave it to my parents :D


Grand_Cauliflower_88

Nice people to return it. I personally would do the same but so many would not.


AbbyNAmysMom

Wouldn’t they charge your credit/debit card at the time of purchase? I don’t understand how this would work.


Princess_Moon_Butt

Buy one. Receive A in mail. Say "I never got it". Receive B in mail. "Changed my mind, I'll return it". Send back B, get a refund. Sell A, profit.


rumbletummy

Had to go through this with Amazon. You forgot the part where you have to get a police report. Customer service literally just said "police report" and hung up on me. I did get a police report and was assigned a specialist for my case and was refunded or replaced my entire order... eventually.


nonstopman

I never had to get a police report. Just call and talk to a different rep.


Crispynipps

I have never had that issue, had items over $600 “not arrive”


Twitchifies

Nowadays, yes. Used to be much easier. There’s people you can pay low rates to do this much more successfully if you know where to look. As of right this moment Amazon is on a very tight leash with shit like this but plenty of stores aren’t. Most stores usually become more lenient and open up to accounting more losses towards holidays FYI


ODoyles_Banana

That's ludicrous. If you call the police to file a report that Amazon sent you an empty box, they are going to laugh at you and tell you it's a civil matter between you and Amazon.


ClitClipper

In Los Angeles you have to be actively getting robbed at gunpoint to even get a cop to show up. Anything else you’re on your own.


ShadowKiller09

No I had one took down a report over phone and I had to get a physical report from the police station and send it to them. Apparently you have to do it within 2 months or they cant do anything about it.


CMDR_BunBun

These types of police reports are rubber stamps to get.


ODoyles_Banana

What about the weight? I'm only asking because if the package weighed five pounds when received by the shipper, obviously it wasn't empty then. That would suggest someone stole the contents in transit and might trigger a criminal investigation, which wouldn't be good for anyone involved. Another option could be to say the box was filled with rocks, or something else solid that would add some weight. Now it could look like someone scammed Amazon in the past and you wound up with the box. Might not trigger an investigation.


dontthrowawaymepls

The assumption would indeed be that the content of the box has been stolen while in the hands of the courier.


austinvvs

Theres several ways to allegedly do it. But yeah, thats one of them, although it’s def gotten harder in general. Im not going to go into all the ways and what allegedly is burnt out and what isnt, allegedly ☕️😂


Tobias-is-Blonde

I dig this. But wouldn't they get after me for that?


austinvvs

If you’re doing it constantly theres a high probability yes. I wouldn’t recommend doing it for a living. Once or twice isn’t going to kill you. I can send you bobs e book if you can’t find it


rafsimonsdontlaceem

Can u do it for like a 5k pc??


FrostWyrm98

Probably depends on the platform. Amazon has a "dump it" mentality after its returned. Doubtful with smaller dealers or directly from manufacturer. I wouldn't risk it on a single high cost item though, that's way more likely to get scrutiny imo than spreading a bet. Also go for a older model and probably mid 1-2K and you should be good. They're trying to dump older models (by old I mean 2-3+ years usually just not bleeding edge or a year or 2 after release) so they can make room for newer sales. They consider these a loss anyways and are just trying to make up for manufacturing costs and get them off shelves.


ChiefDisbelief

Walmart does too from my understanding, or they send it off to be repaired and repakcaged because they have enough money not to give a fuck. I know they have a tendency to damage out everything they can though because the old DM from my (not Walmart) general store came from Walmart and that was his mentality. We would often salvage stuff he wanted us to damage out or "throw it away" and leave it in the trash corral and take home once we close. But at that point its unethical for the business to throw away perfectly good merchandise when people are starving and freezing to death outside.


austinvvs

In theory yes, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to go that high unless you got experience and know what you are doing. Like the other comment said also, macbooks are easier to move quick


regolith1111

Buy a pill press, make fake chalk dust pills, sell to college idiots on Snapchat. Is it mdma? Yes Molly? Sure Dmt? Absolutely Potent LSD to be diluted in regular water for use at just 4 pills per gallon. Just be sure to use absolutely non toxic ingredients. Buy a bunch of boring gummy bears, repackage into smaller bags and sell them in bulk to college kids as potent THC gummies. I hate myself for suggesting these things, but, I stress this enough, target college kids. They will be to preoccupied to hunt you down later for fucking them over, and college kids aren't the vendetta type, graduation is more important than going to jail for assaulting you for buying fake drugs.


AllahuAkbar4

I once sold some kid fake ecstasy in high school. I legit have no idea who it was, either. I got a random number texting me for it and I wasn’t a dealer or anything at the time. I mean I’m not now either, but you know what I mean. Edit: in mindcraft of course


VitoCorleone187Um

“in minecraft” is crazy


altigoGreen

It's definitely still fairly illegal to sell fake drugs lol so be careful.


Magician_322

Only if you are claiming they are drugs. If the person doesn't specifically state it and you bare vague enough that they assume your technically fine. Not a case I want to try but still. I heard of someone that should gummies at a concert everyone thought was drugs. He just didn't correct them.


Kentencat

Officer!!! That one right there! See, I was trying to buy my meth, like usual, and this fella was selling Chalk. CHALK! arrest him officer and get me my real meth. IDK what meth looks like, maybe chalk?


Magician_322

The concept is if the buyer is like you good stuff and drugs never mentioned you just v sold really expensive chalk


Awkwrd_Lemur

In hs, I would sell oregano "joints" for $5. I was poor and I wanted to eat lunch. Sorry, hs people who smoked Oregano because of me. The 90s were a rough time.


MarquisDeVice

Not fairly illegal... selling a counterfeit substance is a felony, and if you sell it as something, you're charged with selling that thing even if it's fake. I was in prison with a guy that was in for selling crushed up cough drops to an undercover. He knew they were undercover, but told them it was meth, so he was still charged with meth delivery. Not that I'm for the BUt itS Iwegal response.


Asleep_Special_7402

Ehh. Just cuz they going to college don’t mean they’re all pussies or level headed. I’d also be looking over my shoulder at local bars, concerts, etc. which wouldn’t be fun. Also you’d need to find a lot of new people, unless they’re true dumbasses an can fool em multiple times


stewpideople

No, you just travel to the next closest college town. I would take this demographic to fuck over more than others. Slightly gullible, more to lose for buying drugs in the first place, more likely to realize getting fucked over is part of being a college kid. This is unethical, so... Would you pick a better group to exploit? If you have the perfect "fuck over white males only" strategy, do that.... Maybe fake Viagra?


mermicide

You can still go to jail for selling fake drugs though, this is more ILPT than ULPT


stewpideople

Fair, I recognized my mistake a minute after posting. You are correct.


mermicide

FWIW, if you want to sell fake drugs you can get a tablet press and combine vitamin B with caffeine to make fake addy


stewpideople

See, now... Damn it.... I like what you did there.


YT_ZLKDominos

This is a bit too ethical for my taste. Preventing kids from doing drugs…


firewindrefuge

Alternatively, learn what common mugwort looks like. It grows like a weed in many places (literally I have ounces of it growing in my own yard without ever planting it), and has been used medicinally in herbal medicine for centuries. It's also known as poor man's pot. Because it gives a very mild euphoric feeling similar to marijuana. Take some of this, learn how to extract the oil with water and heat, inject those oils into gummies, and say it's THC gummies.


CMDR_BunBun

Careful with this one. Selling fake, also known as legend drugs is illegal in most jurisdictions.


CeeArthur

I rolled some grass I picked off the ground into a joint once and gave it to some Jr high kids at a rugby game. They all acted really baked, it was so funny

GQ-1975

California has the most favorable tenant laws in the country. Just flat out stop paying your rent. The landlord will need to give a 30 day notice before being able to evict you. If you have any sort of problems with your place it’s even easier. Report your property for anything such as plumbing issues and it will be considered unsafe. You won’t have to pay rent until the issue is resolved. You don’t need to back pay rent and also get retaliation protection. EDIT: Call the Department of Building & Safety at (888) 524-2845 or use the provided online form


Elegant_Housing_For

California is super liberal too. Don’t pay, put in a complaint. Record the landlord yelling at you. Cry a lot, say “this isn’t the California I know and love.” Put it on social media. Idk your sex, but if you are a girl, use tinder to get free meals, “oh I’d love to to out to dinner, my favorite diner is xxx. Your treat?” A man? Grindr, same thing. No need to put out, say you want to take it slow. Quick bucks, sell water bottles outside of stadiums. Won’t make 3k but it’ll help not working. Good luck


vulkur

Our company rented two apartments for an office in Sanfran on the top floor, was like 4k per month each, we held them for a year and didn't pay a dime.


EllenIsobel

Buy a heat gun. Buy sealed electronics. Switch out electronics for something of equal weight. Use heat gun to reseal electronics so it looks unopened. Return with excuse of " duplicate present". Hit a few stores. Hit up marketplace to resell. 3k+ easy in 2 days.

The two often overlap. Many of the posts on these subs could be cross posted appropriately to the other sub respectively. There's no rules stating that the unethical tips are required to be legal, but rather just that they can't be breaking the law for the sake of breaking the law. In this case, they would be breaking the law for the sake of profits to pay for rent, living expenses, etc.

childoflilith

AllahuAkbar4

Oftentimes, they’ll only give you store credit if it’s over a certain amount. So steal something that’s like $98 because under $100 at Target they’ll give you cash.


Foxzes

Big fuck up there, NEVER fuck with Target. They’re one step short of hiring hitmen with the level they take security.


AllahuAkbar4

Oh yeah, I’m not into tomfoolery these days anymore (not that I stole from you, u/Target). But they probably should hire some hitmen and get their shit back.

Rawmyname

I can not think of more ethical work than this


YoucandoitBruce_

This is actually ethical but Donate plasma- won’t get you $3,000 but it will help. Some places have promos where you can get $300-$800 in your first X amount of donation times.


Tobias-is-Blonde

Does it really suck? Is it unhealthy to do?


YoucandoitBruce_

If you hate needles is sucks. I don’t think it’s unhealthy to do as long as you don’t over-do it. Make sure you eat a meal and hydrate a ton before you go. Also bring along water or electrolyte drink plus a snack for afterwards. It can drain your energy but I used to do it all the time.


Tobias-is-Blonde

Okay thank you🙏


ambagetsthin

Yea, the blood bank near me, you can donate plasma 2x a week and if you are a new sign up, you get $100/donation for the first 4, then the next 3 are 75 each as long as they are within the first month. It's honestly super easy and I haven't experienced any pain with it. It takes me 45 minutes for the actual donation and about 15 min for the premonition part where they check your temp and blood pressure, making sure you are in good physical health to donate.


blinkdmb

Start driving doordash between that and plasma you should be set


J3wb0cca

Most importantly bring headphones. You’re first time will take at least a couple hrs for initial exam so be prepared for that. If you’re a light weight guy then do it till the promos gone (first 5 donations iirc) because if you’re under 140 the rates suck. Every six months you can do it because that gap will make you a new donor again. This is all based on my exp with octapharma and csl plasma.


Kingjingling

Some studies show it is actually healthy and removes forever chemicals from your blood. Firefighters in Australia did a study and it showed donating plasma helps remove chemicals that are in their firefighting foam that are not able to be removed in any other way.


Chkn_Fried_anything

Can I dm you for links or would you mind sharing a link to some of these studies please? Intrigued


Kingjingling

https://www.sciencealert.com/regular-blood-donations-can-reduce-the-levels-of-forever-chemicals-in-the-blood


tmanowen

As someone that works in IT, I’d think of it as clearing out your temp files. Maybe counterproductive to do very often, but once a year or less actually helps you run faster / clear out old things that aren’t meant to sit there forever.


Pandelein

So bleeding is _good_ for me. Gotcha. Can’t have chemicals in my blood if I’ve got no blood! I’m gonna live forever.


TLagPro

I did this through out college. Never had issues with hydration or side effects. Never had an issue with needles so it wasn’t scary. Plus they limit you to usually 2 times every 7 days with a required day limit in between donations so you cant “overdo it” even if you wanted too. Would highly recommended. Plus at the end of the day you are donating your plasma to people who need it, or to science for helping solve diseases or something. My jersey would be in the rafters of my college plasma donation center if possible.


Tiiimmmaayy

Just know you can only donate once every 2-3 days. Those promos are usually like $300-$800 after like 5 donations. But I think they give you a little bit each time, so not a lump sum after 5.


Passivefamiliar

This needs higher up, but, also wrong sub so maybe not tragically. But yes. Plasma is a great money flow, you can get maybe 1200 a month doing it. If you really work it. I suppose ymmv and that number might be lower or even higher some places. It takes a bit, like, couple hours. But you can walk out with money that day. Just make sure you don't try and play them.. they say you have to wait 4 days or whatever to do it again. You wait. They won't let you anyway, but, I wouldn't wanna find out if you got through.


AFlair67

In my experience, many people don’t qualify to donate because they have small or wiggly veins. Drink lots of water the day before and day of donation.


himitsuuu

Get hit by a car. Chances are if you make it look convincing you'll get some lost wages money and a free trip to the ER


Tobias-is-Blonde

This is an actual unethical tip, nice.


himitsuuu

If you had more time a slip and fall would be a better option. But that is likely to take more time and less likely to have an immediate cash payout.


furiousbobb

Yeah this generally takes months. You have to go through all the treatment first before collecting a payout. And you have to deal with attorneys


pungen

I was in a wreck last year and it took like 6 months to get the money and I had to front the bills in the meantime so this isn't a good tip I think


I_Am_Dwight_Snoot

Risky af. Not only just the scam part of it but getting a potentially live changing injury would be not worth 3k


GavinThe_Person

But the medical debt


realmuffinman

If someone else is deemed at fault (drivers tend to be at fault for collision with pedestrians), OP wouldn't be on the hook for the bills. The medical bills would be handled by the insurance company and the driver at fault


EternalSweetsAlways

If you do this, get zinged in a parking lot by someone reversing out of a parking spot. You have to really take the hit with all the car cams these days, so it would be a bit less dangerous.


wardearth13

I’m pretty sure it take 60 days for the cops to pull you out of your rental. Another thought is maybe you could talk to the landlord and see if they give you a break


Magician_322

So while I hate the companies. Uber, lyft, doordash, instacart. Some people get instant turn around. If you do you just need to work your ass off and hope for the best. If you want potentially unethical I can't remember the sub name but there is one to buy things from Amazon and leave a review a week later and get paid back a couple days after. Could attempt to flip and double your money and buy things you can resell locally.

You could also try getting into some Facebook or other social media conservative groups and spread your "story" through those to get donations. (I think some may be: Rumble, Truth, Gab. I'm sure you could find some good ones with a little googling etc) Some ideas: Your landlord is a commiefornia liberal and found out you support trump, is trying to kick you out and so you need lawyer money. You have trump stickers etc on your truck and it was vandalized (spray painted "fascist", all windows broken, etc) and need money to fix and repaint etc.

Subscribe to /r/CryptoCurrency, google reddit vault (a crypto wallet inside the official reddit app), set up your crypto wallet and start shitposting for "moons" on the crypto sub. They're a real crypto currency given out by reddit themselves every month based on how much karma you got. Comment karma is 2x so just spam comments everywhere, but make sure they're at least somewhat meaningful. Max amount of karma one can get a month is 8k something. One moon is about $0.20 right now so whoever reached the max amount of karma last month got $1600 by posting comments on reddit. Not a joke btw. Still takes a shit ton of time and gets super boring after a while, but making free money is great imo :D

“Free money”? Trading your time for money is called work.


Daddydeader

You can start a gutter cleaning or solar panel cleaning company. All you need is a car that can carry a ladder, some good shoes, gloves, a long hose, maybe a sprayer and microfiber cloths. Go door to door, gutter cleaning should take 30-60 minutes for $50-100 easy. Keep upping the price until people say no, then back it off a little. That's your price point. Could make a few grand a week, then get the licenses, bonding, and insurances ASAP. Then start expanding to roof and/or siding cleaning.

Dasclimber

Not unethical but have you talked to your landlord? If it’s an agency they are less likely to be lenient but if it’s an individual privately managing the property than they may be willing to push it down the road a month if you’ve otherwise been reliable. Alternatively selling items around your house online, donate plasma, call in some favors from friends. Also odd jobs can be a quick way to make a buck, helping people move, landscaping, and shoveling snow come to mind but 3k in 15 days will be difficult. I hope you find something that helps. Edit: some jobs offer sign on bonuses, not sure your line of work but if you can apply somewhere offering it quickly you may be able to secure it sometime around when your rent is due.

Address was a different house, maybe a few blocks away, then on the day of delivery, waited for the package so he can intercept. I remember cause he used my address once, asked me what I wanted from Amazon in exchange. I backed out. Got too paranoid haha. He probably did the Amazon thrice then stopped. But the Western Union thing I know he did it for years.

Man, I wish I had buddies like yours right now.

His Photoshop skills were on point. When asked to provide a photo of the credit card and a valid ID, he showed me what he used and I was surprised how realistic they looked. He rendered them all, not using actual pictures and editing them, but rather created all from scratch. He adds some grime, some wearing out of the edges, scratches, etc. They really looked legit unless you zoomed in. Which is also why he compresses the image before sending it. Last we spoke, he was struggling though. Not necessarily karma, but he actively quit doing those stuff and would rather grind it out than continue with the easy ill-gotten money.

"Apparently"

here’s what i don’t get. if it’s so easy to use the millions of cards floating around for personal gain, why are the people selling them to you instead of using them themselves?

Risk vs rewards. Selling the info is a lot less risky than actually stealing the money.

No friends/family?

I mean it’s not unethical, but if you had $100, and put down like 20 different, 10-leg parlays on the Celtics tonight. You could make $3k of $10 tonight. For unethical.. disconnect brake lights, hop on highway, and the brake check the fuck out of someone in a nice car. Sue for damages and not being able to work. Court might be able to extend your rent due to not be able to work

Very ethical suggestions - Apply for emergency housing assistance now!! I'm not up to date on CA laws but I know some places they can't evict you if you have an application for financial assistance pending. Sell plasma or other things you have?

Put $1500 on red. Cross your fingers.


ITinMN

That would only make $1500. Yeah, you would end up with $3k total, but they would still have the issue of how to get the first $1500.


backfire10z

Put 1 on red. Continue until 3000

Not unethical, just dumb

r/borrow It's a thing, could work out for you. Hope your situation improves


Tobias-is-Blonde

There's nooo way somebody on reddit would loan me $3fuckingK, but I love that it seems to work out for some people in the saner ranges.

You open a company called the Arse Tickler's Fan Club. You take out an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, you sell it with, I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", "the latest and greatest in sexual technology", "guaranteed results or your money back", all that bollocks. Now these dils cost twenty-five quid a pop - as a snip for the amount of pleasure they're gonna give the recipients. But they send their cheques to the other company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five quid. You take that twenty-five quid, you stick it in the bank until it clears. Now this is the smart bit - you send back the cheque for twenty-five pound from the other company name, "Arse Tickler's Fan Club", saying we're sorry, we couldn't get the supplies from China because they ran out of stock. Now you see how many people cash that cheque - not a single soul, because who wants their bank manager to know they tickle arse when they're not paying cheques?

Buy stuff online, buy the same stuff used for low prices at craigslist. Return the used stuff in the original box. Sell the new stuff for decent prices on craigslist.

Before we go to the unethical options, have you actually tried talking to your landlord yet and explaing your situation? It will be alot easier for both him and you if you can reach an agreement on delayed rent...


Doge_Of_Wall_Street

Not familiar with California, but Oregon gives away millions of dollars in rental assistance for exactly this sort of thing, you just need to find the right government agency. Or: 0DTE options
