Worst Ways To Make Money...
10:03 Share

Evil ways to make money. Some people have the most devious and unethical methods to pay the bills. Some are obviously worse than others. I gotta give this disclaimer. I don't want YouTube to get on my ass. So please do not repeat any behavior that is mentioned in this video. I know the economy is in an ass position right now. Just don't do it.

Okay, is not worth it. Number one, TikTok scammers. We all know those peep the method TikTok scammers are the people that are like, oh, I took the risk bro. And we were all curious. What was the risk that they took? And what is the method that we need to see so bad? And they act like these super rich influencers that basically are

able to change your life with the snap of a finger. They'll take like $100 bills, like whatever's left in their bank account, and they'll do like a little money spread for the video. And if you have ever fallen for one of these, unfortunately, you are the method. There is no other way they're making money. They're just making money off this fake course. It's just one of those get rich quick ass videos. But in reality, there is no shortcut to get rich quick. People saying you can be rich in a week or whatever. I don't know.

They're just selling you some bullshit. Whatever it is that you decide to do, it's going to take time. You're not going to get rich quick. That just doesn't exist. And a lot of these videos I was seeing was around the time of like 2020, 2021. A lot of people didn't...

They didn't have jobs, so they just needed quick money. Next, we got marrying a rich old person. You will sometimes see people in their late 20s, early 30s marry this rich old person. This method is like the oldest trick in the book to get bread. And people are still doing this sometimes to this day. So the method has not been patched yet. And they will marry them just to get in their will. And this is just for the chance to get the bread.

Some people are willing to risk it all just to get a piece of the will. And sometimes they don't even end up in the will. And I know this, yeah, technically it isn't illegal, but it's still weird as fuck. Say it's a rich old dude. I don't know. They'll spend tens of thousands of dollars on this girl like in her late 20s. It's just crazy, bro. I don't get how people get sleep at night after doing this. And now we got slipping on purpose, like in a store or on somebody's doorstep and basically trying to take a crazy ass lawsuit home for not actually hurting yourself.

So basically what people will do is they'll spill something on purpose on the ground and then somebody else will come in and just slip on it. Deliberately, on purpose. And they'll put on Oscar-level acting and say, oh my god, there was no caution sign on the ground. I could have broken a bone, man. I really hurt myself. And obviously they really didn't hurt themselves.

because they knew they were going to slip. And then eventually they file a lawsuit against whatever grocery store this is. Or if you're on somebody's property and you happen to slip by mistake and it's just scummy, bro. Like you're just taking thousands of dollars from people because you pretended to get hurt. And no,

what I find kind of funny about this is the same energy they put in to try and fake an injury like slipping on a goddamn banana peel they could be using that to put into a job application like it's right in front of you bro just fill it out it just blows my mind man how much effort people will put into this it's just insane man now we got the fake DoorDash refund now for whatever reason the plate cleaners of the world need to double their orders so they already ordered two Big Macs

He said he delivered it and we never got our order. And eventually at 2 a.m. we just drove to Wendy's and got whatever the hell we ordered. Like, I don't know how you're like DJ Khaled eating four of these back to back or whatever the hell he said. And by doing the fake refund method, you will literally get a Dasher fired. That shit's just fucked.

up bro unless this dude just stole your food then yeah get his ass fired but now we got a pump and dump crypto scam so usually what people will do it's like influencers or just honestly anybody on the internet now like recently i saw this case of like a 13 year old kid who made like 100k in a day off a crypto scam but what people will do they'll give some motivational speech like guys we can get rich together us as a unit we can all purchase

Hawk to a coin. I know it's 2025, but hear me out. And if we all buy, it will go to the moon. Get rich today. And then people participating in the rug pull will put money in the coin. And then when people actually buy the coin, all the people who put a ton of money in it will sell and make a shit ton.

Of course, they'll schedule a time for the launch of the coin and whatever. And I mean, if you fall for this, that's crazy. No one is going to hold this coin. That shit's not happening. Some people will really put in their entire life savings talking about, hold on guys, just hold on. Like, all right, dude, just pack it up. And now we got the fake GoFundMe method.

Now this one is really scummy. Some people will deadass just set up a fake GoFundMe and pretend like, I don't know, their family member is very ill and they need money to take care of their family member. And they'll set the goal to however much money they want. And they'll basically make some story up just to get people's donations. They show zero proof of this at all. Like this is just extremely fucked.

up like I don't know why the fuck people do this shit I mean nine times out of ten their GoFundMe most likely aren't gonna go anywhere but it's crazy to think that people actually stoop this low again I don't know how people sleep at night after doing something like this now we got catfishing a lot of people recently have been using AI to catfish people some people want a girlfriend or whatever so bad that they will spend all

all their bread all their hard-earned bread on an ai girl or even just a regular like it doesn't even matter like still why are you even spending your bread on that in the first place and as for the people making it once again like you cannot tell me that you would be proud telling people your career path like how do you even explain this to your family your friends whatever but at the same time if you're the person getting catfished you barely know this person they're just asking you for a ton

Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com. The money. It's red flags galore. And they just want a girlfriend so bad that they're willing to just give up all their money for it. And if they really wanted to be with you, they would not be asking you for all this. Now we got the deep fake ads. Now, sometimes you'll see ads like this on YouTube or Facebook or whatever. And they'll just be ads of somebody like Elon Musk, for example, or

I don't know, Mr. Beast, which either requires A, their information so they can steal money from them or B, some sort of scam that they pay for. And people will make these ads and it'll have Elon Musk say something like, hey guys, this new random crypto coin is really booming in the market right now.

Nobody is falling for this, okay? It doesn't even sound like them. It's just so robotic. Or well, those ads started to get made in like 2023, around that era. But now with Google VO and all this other shit that's coming out, it's gonna be way worse. Some people are gonna use Google VO or whatever other AI software for purposes like this. Or you'll see deepfake ads of people saying, oh, I'm gonna be giving away an iPhone.

All you have to do is put down your personal information and you will be entered. Clearly, there is no brand new iPhone waiting for you in your mailbox or whatever the hell they're saying. All that's waiting for you is a bunch of spam emails and spam phone calls or just a bunch of random ass charges on your credit card. All right, now we got one that's been pissing me off recently. The fake traffic violation method. Now, basically what people do is they'll send some text message with the botnet.

Basically saying that you have some kind of traffic violation. Like an unpaid toll or an unpaid parking ticket or something like that. They provide zero details. They just say, uh, you have a violated parking ticket. This is not paid by June 5th. Yeah, buddy. Uh, we're going to report you to the DMV. And I just got a text message just like that. Literally a minute ago. Telling me that apparently I have some kind of toll violation. Now I probably live in the most desolate f***ing...

Arm-looking ass area of all time. So there is no way I got toll violations It's been like three months since I've gone through a toll or maybe even more than that to be honest But the entire goal of these people obviously they want you to fill out your information So they're able to take your credit card number or some shit and what's crazy the number doesn't have a u.s Country code. So how the hell are people gonna believe this shit in the first place? I don't know now we got the pretending to be homeless method. I

Like seriously, I don't understand why these people just don't get jobs. Like bro, you're putting in all this effort just to pretend to be homeless. Like this shit really is the my mom is kind of homeless act method. They'll sit in like some sort of populated city and they'll basically just hold a sign pretending to be homeless. I mean at this rate, it really doesn't get any worse than that.

They'll beg, they'll cry, they'll put on Oscar-level acting if they have to. Like, this method reminds me of that one Speed clip where the kid said his mom is kinda homeless. Like, how the hell does that even work? How are you kinda homeless? And what's sad is Good Samaritans will donate to these people when people who actually are homeless could use the money. Next, we got selling fake clothing, pretending like it's real. I mean, a lot of people buy replica clothing because it's $100 instead of $1,000.

Who the hell wants to spend $1,000 on a pair of shoes? But this is a really common method in the sneaker community because what some people will do is they'll sell it for, I don't know, $1,000 pretending like it's the real deal. I mean, yeah, sure. Sometimes you can't even tell the difference between a replica and a real sneaker. Sometimes the reps are that good quality, but still, bro, it's just the principle. It's not the real product. This one's probably one of the less evil ones on the list, but still, you're selling booth products acting like they're real.

And then sometimes people will sell the worst of the worst when it comes to quality. You'll see the logo on a pair of Jordans doing goddamn zigzags or something. And you'll just think to yourself, how the hell is somebody even going to wear this? And now, the next method we got is evading taxes. At this point, you're just asking to have zero freedom. You're just asking to be locked up with Bubba the inmate for life. And now, of course, lesson of the video, I'm shining a negative light on this. Do not do any of these, please.

There are way better and way easier ways to make money. Like getting a job, starting a business, whatever the hell you want to do. Watch this video where I rank jobs. Just click on it.
