One scam involves financial prowess.
Dick Brown scrounges up a mailing list of 124 rubes. He tells half of them that a little watched OTC stock, Plastic Wheel Rims, is going to go up. He tells the other half it’s going down.
The stock went down. So he scratches the names where he got it wrong off the mailing list.
He predicts GE stock is going to drop to half of the new list and it’s going to rise to the other half.
You can see where this is going. After four rounds of this, he has 8 rubes who’ve seen him predict accurately four times is a row. Wow. I want him investing MY money.
Only if the money is on consignment and he’s handcuffed to you so he can’t skip. Then if there is any talent there, you got your percentage.
