Finding Receipts

[Kakkaraun]

We all know the return scam (er, the all-mighty, holy, godlike return scam). Some people have adapted it to a money-making scam, rather than a scam to get a specific item free of charge. They do this by returning items from receipts that aren't theirs, and sometimes returning items without receipts at all (most often for store credit).

So, I've been trying to think of good ways to get my hands on receipts. So far, this is what I have:

*Friends'/Relatives' Receipts - I've spent quite a few hours looking through stacks of other people's receipts. For some reason, they very rarely have any high-cost items in their receipts. That sucks.

*Looking Outside the Store - I've only ever had the time and opportunity to try this once. A friend and I walked through the Best-Buy parking lot and only found two receipts, neither of which were viable. Best-Buy probably isn't a good store for the return scam, anyway.

*Fake Donation Scam - Some malls have offers where you can hand in receipts for things you buy to give a certain extremely small percentage of the purchase's amount to a school, charity, fund, whatever. You could conceivably go around acting like a "receipt collection officer" or something, but that wouldn't be likely to work.

Any other thoughts?

Very good.

But I guarantee there will be some sort of website containing templates or the same receipt ’writing’. In which you can create your own. But I yet to find it.

Yes indeed, I must agree that this brief article will provide intellectual awareness for the lesser rortians. However, in response to the receipt writing, what you could do is buy a receipt printer and design it to look like your target store. But, nowadays most stores have their logo imprinted on the paper, access to that paper is very valuable and envied by most lesser humans. Think of the infinite possibilites, you could print out a receipt for a T.V that's 300 dollars and just take the T.V and return it at the return desk. Oh my, if only I had a crooked clerk aquaintence, then the world would be a much better place.
