here is a good one I used to pull in college. ok, first off, understand that I had a credit card from my folks for books and emergencies. so, each at the start of each quarter, I'd get my list of books required. On the first or second day of classes, I took that to the bookstore across the street from campus (not the official University store, but one of the many that serviced the school). Using the credit card, I bought my books, being sure to get a receipt. Now, at this particular store, you got a register receipt showing the purchases you made, and a credit card receipt that was seperate. So, what I would do was to return to the store the very next day with only the register receipt. This is a BIG state university, so of course they were ALWAYS very crowded during the first week of classes. That is a plus. Also, in this particular store, the returns desk was toward the back, while the registers were at the front. Also a plus. So anyway, I'd go in with my receipt and pick up the exact same books I bought the day before. Then I'd go up front and get in one of those LONG-ASSED lines for the registers. After a 5 or 10 mins, I'd suddenly "remember" I needed something else, and get out of line, head back to the returns desk and "return" all the books for cash, saying that I dropped the classes.
so, it worked out that not only did I get the books I needed that mom so generously offered to pay for (had loans and scholaships for tuition, so she was getting off lucky in that respect) but I ALSO got the cash value of those books. usually about $150 -$200 per quarter.
of course, this wont work everywhere, but given the right set of circumstances, its a nice scam.
