Social Engineering Cons

Socially Engineering free money out of a local WalMart location.

Walmart has an amazing merchandise return policy so even if you don't have the receipt for a product of theirs, they'll still give you the cash back, but on a gift card.


Since WalMart has become the conglomerate that it has, this presents some interesting physical hacks of the system.

Toys R Us, a popular toy store chain, which sells all sorts of things. From kid books to board games and from RC cars to video games. The Video Game section seems to be a good place to start. Usually Toys R Us has video games on sale for roughly $15 that WalMart is selling for around $30-45.

Looking at this and noticing that they are the same game this presents a wonderful opportunity. Buying the game at Toys R Us and bringing it to WalMart without the Toys R Us receipt will get you an increased amount of money for the product, but it'll be in the form of a gift card.

If you don't want the gift card simply use all the money on it, but stick the card in your pocket or something. Come back after the shift change with the item and it's receipt. The receipt will say it was on a gift card but if you tell the clerk that you threw it away because it was empty. Not wanting to waste another card they'll usually give you a nice wad of cash. They will try and take your drivers license number, but what if you took the bus there? ;) CHA CHING!!! instant money :)

TAKE THAT WALMART!!!
