Hey
I've been looking around for counterfeit currencies... I've found a couple of people out there - not on SR though.
Looking for someone relatively trustworthy and (obviously) with escrow to do something like this with.
Obviously it would need to pass all the tests a bank might use to check it. It doesn't really matter which currency, although it would make sense to use one (or several) of the top ten traded currencies.
If anybody knows anything, please let me know...
Cheers

IIRC the selling of currencies on SR is against the rules. I wouldn't expect to be able to find anybody willing to do it around here, particularly through escrow.
-
Why would you take fake money to a bank, when you could take fake money to Mcdonalds?
-
BAAAD fucking idea. Even the best fake currency won't pass the smell test at a bank. They have machines that verify all bills, so its well beyond the typical pen and hold it up to a light that would be at retail store.
The only way to use phony bills is to fuck a drug dealer with them (I just lost $800 because one of my fronts got fake hundreds) or to use them to buy electronics and then re-sell on craigslist.
Either way its going to back to you pretty quick and you are going to get fucked by the long dick of the federal government.
-
Yea, it just seems like a bad idea in the first place. I feel like it'd be so easy to get fucked over so quickly that way... I mean, you could always say you didn't know they were fake if you were asked, but eventually somebody might get suspicious of you...

If your caught with fake bills you are fucked. Even if you are a retail store you get the money taken away from you at the bank, even though you thought they were real. However, that only applies to a retail store.

Heh. I may be dumb enough to ask for things - but I'm certainly not dumb enough to take them to a bank! What I meant was, they should be indiscernable from the real thing. There are 'supernotes' which are US$100 bills, allegedly made in North Korea and China, that are literally a higher quality product that real US$100 bills. Not that that even makes sense.
To put things in perspective - I'm living in Asia. So my idea (not original, but whatever) is that I pay some poor bastard a couple of bucks (or whatever) to go to a foreign exchange place and change the money into local currency while I shadow them to make sure they don't run off (while staying off camera).
There are literally thousands of foreign exchange stores where I am. Thousands. If this racket worked it could work really well, one could do this three times a day for a year and never go to the same place twice. And there are hundreds of thousands of possible mules. You get the idea. It's Asia.
PS Rules?! Rules? If a guy can sell naked images of his ex-GF, he should be able to sell some art work. I know drugs are a victimless crime (essentially) so there are no ethical issues there - the example I gave does have ramifications to an individual, though. Some would argue more so than fake money. Anyway this isn't the time or place for that kind of discussion - I'm just trying to set some shit up because I'm afraid I'll have to work forever. I don't like work. Seriously - I haven't done it in over two years and now I have to start and I see no end in sight. I needa get my game back on one way or another. And at the moment I don't have and drug connexions here, which is pissing me off because most of the drugs in the world (apart from charlie) flow through here god damnit.

There are so many things wrong with this post I don't even know where to start. Would you also like some advice on how to better rob liquor stores?
Seriously...these "super notes" are probably made by organized crime. They probably aren't selling to small timers.
-
So by jumping to judgement calls and (incorrect) guesses about my personal life what you are really trying to say is: No, I don't have those kinds of connections.
Just say no, or better yet, nothing...
Unless of course you know where to find these items.
PS of course they're made by organised crime. What do you think the whole of SR is? It is crime, that is operating in an organised fashion, with intent. I figured if you can buy CCs relatively easily - it's pretty much the same thing.
Also, the people you know are obviously doing it wrong. I don't put myself in line to get caught for anything... I hatch the schemes. That's how I have always done things and always will - part of my doing as little work as possible mentality. But whatever, you obviously talk more than you do, otherwise you'd be too busy to chime in on a question that you don't have the answer to.
-
No straight out morality judgements from me. :)
But.... you've even mentioned yourself a far, far easier way to make money and that is CC fraud. Of course it's not allowed here and that's fine but you will find that most if not all unauthorised transactions are absorbed by the banks (at least in my experience) and there is so much equipment available to the consumer that could help you in your endeavour. You wouldn't even need to pull in some poor sucker trying to earn a dollar or two to feed his family.
You could do it all on your own and take all the rewards or all the responsibility.
For everyone else let me be clear that I personally wouldn't do this but I would rather rip of the banks & credit card companies (who are thieves in their own way) than a mom & pop store just trying to make ends meet.
-
You're right, they are thieves and liars.
There are some problems though: A) I can't grow a beard on my neck and B) I don't believe I know enough about how to hide my trail.
Plus you have to be up with the latest to actually know where to do these transfers before the places doing them go out of business.
eg CC->SLL->LR->BTC->Washer->Dryer->Timbuktu->Back in your pocket
And every single god damn transaction will involve a settling fee. I wonder what percentage you're actually left with.

This is pointless. I just found the button to lock the thread. This is going in the hall of shame.
