Quick Bucks at Dad’s Expense

Feeling Proud that your son is joining too many courses or attending career counseling classes all of a sudden? Do you feel your pockets are growing lighter? Well you’ve probably realized you are being conned. We call this scamming. Here’s how some kids con parents:

Dry On Fuel!!

The petrol price hike has not only hit those running offices but also those waiting for a reason to run out of college and use it as an excuse to get some extra bucks. It’s a ‘believable’ excuse and no questions asked!

The scammer would have walked some distance, while parking his bike in shade of the college parking lot entire day!

Trip-Ping On Money

Most colleges believe in going beyond usual chalk-and-talk method to give the students an experience of reality. Hence, pulling out money naively to help bear the expenses of the apparent trip couldn’t be easier! And what’s more? It also allows scamming that extra time to spend with friends.

Scammer With A Heart

Making a contribution to the poor and the needy by using the institution’s repute has never failed to appeal to the finance minister of the house!! Money, probably, would be making a big way into the scammer’s pocket!! Very little will be known about the contributions made.

Birthday Ruse

From wanting to spend that little extra time with your loved one to a reason for celebration, birthdays are a classic example to get permission and fill your pockets!! As long as friends aren’t born too often, it poses to be one hell of great story to scam money for!!

Going The Geeky Way

All of a sudden, textbooks start seeming interesting and the enthusiasm to gain more knowledge soars!! Here is where reference books come into the picture!! Of course, there may be a need for a tangible proof but that can always be handled by the alienated library!!

Charge For Recharge

May be the bundles you can talk on your mobile have not risen but a few bucks have gotten here and that will suffice to hang out with your friends!! As long as the demand does not go through the roof, keep Charging!!
