limited number of credit cards. if, for example, I do not
have much credit history, and I already have five well-used
credit cards, I am likely to be turned down when I apply
for a sixth card. The credit card companies check my credit
with my Social Security number, which is on my
application. When they check this they see that I already
have five credit cards and they reject me. If, however, I
have no credit cards and I apply for twenty or thirty credit
cards all at the same time (mail them on the same day), they
will all be approved because they all check my credit at
the same time and see that I have no cards. Then, when I
receive my credit cards I can get cash advances on half of
them and not use the other half. When I get my bills, I pay
the first half of them off with the other half and so on and
so on.

For example, I get twenty credit cards. I take $1,000 in
cash advances from each of the first ten credit cards. When
I get billed for these cards I take cash advances of $1,000
from each of the other ten credit cards to pay the bills for
the first ten credit cards. Every month I pay off one half of
the credit cards with the other half. By doing this, I avoid
paying any interest on my credit cards because the first
thirty days are interest-free on charges made on all major
credit cards. The only charges I incur are the relatively
small charges for taking cash advances on the cards. In
most cases these charges are less than the interest rates on
a bank loan. This is a great way to give yourself some
spending money without having to repay. A person could
theoretically run this scheme forever.

Reward Money for Lost
Pets

A college acquaintance was told by his parents to earn his
own spending money but he was allergic to working. One
day he found a wandering dog and took it home with him.
A few days later, he saw reward signs around his
neighborhood. He returned the lost dog to the grateful
owner, who rewarded him with $100. He then began
picking up animals in upscale neighborhoods and keeping
them at his home until he saw reward signs. Then he would
return the animals and collect the rewards. He did quite
well doing this, and when he did not see reward signs, he
would call the numbers on the pets' ID tags (if they had
one) and tell the people that he had just found the pet.
Usually he would get a reward for this, too. It was easy
money for him, and it only cost him a minimal amount to
