Make Money Illegally

Do you ever watch a movie about a guy pulling a fast one and walking away with millions?

Or maybe you see a news story about a guy holding up a jewelry store and making off with bags of diamonds.

While both of these examples are ways to make money illegally, they both allow us to fantasize what it would be like to make that kind of money in a short amount of time.

Let's face it, if you make money the honest way like the majority of us do, you know there are a lot of factors that come into play if you want to be wealthy.

You need time since you can't make a boatload of money overnight.

You need to keep your expenses in line too so you aren't getting yourself into debt and you need to save and invest so that your money can grow.

But what if you wanted to make a ton of money quickly?

What are your options?

Unfortunately, 99.9% of the options don't follow the letter of the law.

Still, it would be fun to fantasize so I came up with this list of 15 ways to make money illegally.

Please note that the ideas listed below are for entertainment purposes only and you should not, under any circumstance, actually consider trying any of these out.

But if you are here because you really have considered these ways to make money, stick through to the end.

I'll offer you some options that are legal and that you can actually use to make money (and in some cases rather quickly).

With that said, let's have some fun!

How To Make Money Illegally | 15 Ideas To Get You Thinking

#1. Rob A Bank

make money illegally

This is a classic option of illegal activity.

Get a ski mask and gun and you are pretty much set.

Of course, you are pretty much guaranteed of getting caught too.

There are just too many things that can go wrong that makes robbing a bank just not worth it.

Think about it.

  • You have to figure out the odds of the bank having a decent amount of money on hand (this varies through the week and the year)
  • You have to take into account dye-packs in the bag of money
  • You have to figure out how to avoid all of the cameras

To make it worth it, you would need to make a huge heist.

After you steal the money, you need to launder it so that it cannot be traced back to you, which carries with it a whole new set of risks.

All the while, you have hundreds of cops and federal agents looking for you.

Living your life in hiding or always looking over your shoulder when you go out won't be much fun.

#2. Rob A Convenience Store

Same idea as above, but odds are you are going to have to rob a handful of stores to make anything worth the effort.

Most stores now only keep a small amount of cash on hand and you also run the risk of trying to rob from a store that has a worker with a shotgun!

I think we've all seen the news clips of robberies gone wrong when the robber messes with the wrong clerk.

For a couple of hundred bucks, the risk is not worth it.

And even if you do get some cash, there are surveillance cameras everywhere.

Odds are they will get a picture of your car, your license plate, your tattoo, or something that will make it easier to find you.

#3. Become A Drug Dealer

Many people sell drugs to make money.

But the higher up the drug food chain you are, the more money you stand to make.

Drug Hierarchy

Of course, the higher up the food chain you go, the more heat is on you from the legal side too.

As a street hustler, you can make a decent income, but your odds of getting shot and/or killed are pretty high too.

Personally, that isn't worth it to me.

If you want to get off to the right foot, consider this: move to a state that legalized marijuana.

Get a job with a company that grows it and learn everything you can.

Then move back home and implement the same process, just on a smaller scale.

You will increase your odds of success greatly by going this route as opposed to just finding a supplier for you.

As an added bonus, eventually your state might legalize marijuana and you'll have a head start on your competition!

#4. Run Your Own Football Pool

This is a much safer option of how to make money illegally than the ones listed so far.

You could just run a small pool and take a cut off of the top.

Many people opt for this because it doesn't require much effort and you can make a lot of money.

If you want more money, you could become a real bookie and take bets on other sports as well.

While it sounds fun to combine money making with sports, if you lose you could be out a ton of money.

Another downside is dealing with the deadbeats.

You will run into guys that owe you money and aren't paying.

This will result in a lot of work chasing them down, threatening them, physical violence, etc.

#5. Re-sell Forever Stamps

This one is my favorite.

Simply buy a bunch of Forever stamps and wait for the Post Office to increase the price.

Then you can sell your stamps for a profit.

Sounds great right?

Three problems.

First, you need to buy a ton of stamps to make a good profit.

Second, you need to find buyers for all of these stamps.

Lastly, it is completely illegal.

In my mind, if you had the thousands to buy the stamps in the first place, you wouldn't need these ideas to make money illegally.

#6. Count Cards Playing Blackjack

counting cards

This one isn't technically illegal, more so frowned upon.

But it is one of the best ways to make money.

If you can become good at card counting, you could hit the tables and make a lot of money fast.

The problem with this option though is that most casinos are great at catching card counters since there is a routine to how they play and bet.

Plus, the house sets horrible odds so the payoff isn't that great unless you get lucky.

If you are going to do this, you have to be smart and do it on a small scale.

This is what gets most card counters into trouble.

They get tired of small winnings and want to take down the house.

When you get greedy, you lose.

With that said, if you want to read a fascinating true story of a guy that took down Atlantic City, check out this story.

Finally, here is a better option than card counting. It's all about taking advantage of streaks and making a boatload of money with little risk.

#7. Sell Counterfeit Goods

Thanks to the internet, it is easier than ever to sell counterfeit goods and make a substantial amount of money.

And it is hard to get caught too.

To find knockoffs, you just search online for distribution companies, mostly in China.

There you can either buy the items direct or become a drop shipper.

Then create a seller account on Amazon, eBay, or Walmart and start selling.

Most of the fake goods are so good, most buyers won't ever notice.

And if they do, it is up to the site you are selling on to remove your store.

If these sites get enough complaints, they will shut down your store and ban you.

But all you need to do is set up a new email account and before you know it, you are back in business.

#8. Shoplift

Shoplifting is an easy way to get started with making money illegally.

Just scout out the right retail stores and products, steal them, and then resell on the black market.

Surprisingly, the law is on your side in many states when it comes to shoplifting.

For example, most store employees are not allowed to chase you once you leave the store.

This is mostly due to trying to protect their employees from injury and protect the company from a lawsuit.

But this doesn't mean you can do as you please when it comes to stealing.

You still have to sneak your stolen goods out of the store. You still have to hide your appearance as best you can from the cameras in the store.

And you have to hide your car and other identifying information from the cameras outside the store too.

Still, if you are smart, you can do this long term.

While police will investigate, it will be low on their priority list.

#9. Drug Smuggler

Another drug related option for how to make money illegally is to become a drug smuggler.

This profession pays very well.

You can either do this one on a small scale and be a 'mule' by transporting small amounts of drugs across the border or you can do it on a large scale and load up your plane or boat and smuggle the drugs that way.

Obviously, the larger the quantity you smuggle, the more money you are going to make.

And of course if you get caught, you are going to jail.

But even with the threat of prison, the money you could earn from smuggling drugs makes people do it.

There are stories almost weekly of the state police pulling over a pickup truck that has a hidden compartment full of drugs.

The good news though is that if you are successful at smuggling, you have a re-occurring income stream as the drug kingpin will keep coming back to you to transport more drugs.

The bad news though is that eventually, the odds will catch up to you and you will get caught.

#10. Professional Scammer

When you start scamming people, you will find it very lucrative.

And thanks to the internet, there are all sorts of ways you can start scamming people.

For instance, you can:

  • Pose As Companies: You can send out emails pretending you are from various banks or other companies and request payments for unpaid bills. Without properly doing some background investigating on potential victims, this one is also hit or miss.
  • Go The Nigerian Route: Pretend you are some rich African businessman who needs help depositing his money. With the word out on this one though, it is tough to make decent money.
  • Craigslist: You can scam people all sorts of ways on Craigslist. You could pretend you have concert or sports tickets and sell fake ones. You could meet someone to buy an item and rob them instead. The list goes on and on.
  • Investment Scams: Find some people with money and tell them you can get them a 20% return on their money. Once you have a couple people, you can use the money one person gives you to pay the "earnings" to the first person. As long as you keep adding in new clients (and this should be easy once you deliver on the return) you won't get caught. All the while, you are living a life of luxury and aren't actually earning any returns for the investors. You are simply robbing Peter to pay Paul. This article will show you how Bernie Madoff got his scam going and what led to his demise.
  • Emotional Scams: In this scam, you find someone that is traveling overseas either through word of mouth or based on their social media accounts. You then reach out to their loved ones claiming you are their loved one traveling and you are in need of money and to wire you the money. You'd be surprised at how many people fall for this one.

The good news is that if you are smart about it, you can get away with scamming for some time as you won't garner a lot of attention from the authorities.

Of course, like with all of the other ideas listed, odds are the law will catch up to you.

#11. Hacker

Save Yourself From Financial Fraud 1

Loosely related to becoming a scammer is to become a hacker and work with identity theft.

Send out emails and try to install malware on random people's computers. Steal their personal information and then resell it on the black market.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of secretly installing malware on computers and then reselling personal info, you could team up with an organized crime unit.

This could net you real money for just hacking into a bank or government.

If you are really good and can cover your tracks, you might be able to get away with this one for some time before they catch you.

#12. Buy Alcohol For Teenagers

This one is low on the how to make money illegally totem pole as there isn't much money here.

All you have to do is head over to a college campus and befriend some freshmen and sophomores.

Have them give you money and buy them some alcohol.

While you could run off with their money (see the scamming idea above), odds are you want to make a decent amount of money this way.

So, buy them the alcohol.

If you are reliable, word will get around and you can earn some extra cash. Just charge them $10 for your service.

Again, you have to be smart about this one too.

As word goes around, someone will hear about you and that someone might be a cop.

That cop may just be waiting at the store the next time you happen to be shopping there.

#13. Pickpocket

If you can get good at pickpocketing, you can make some money doing this.

However, with more and more people not carrying much cash on them, you are going to be left with two options.

#1. Buy high value items with stolen credit cards and sell the items on Craigslist.

#2. Sell the credit card and social security numbers on the black market.

If this isn't of interest to you, then pickpocketing might not be your scam.

But if it is, you need to add a few people to your crew to really get good at it.

This will lessen the odds of getting caught while in the act as well as harder to catch after the fact.

Here are some cool videos to watch to help you not become a victim of a pickpocket.

#14. Insurance Fraud

Let's say you get into a car accident. You have some aches and pains.

Are you good enough to push through the pain with some over the counter medication or are you seriously hurt and cannot work?

Some people who are able bodied end up taking the seriously hurt route.

They scam insurance companies to pay them while they sit at home watching television, pretending to be seriously hurt.

It sounds like a great way to make money illegally.

But insurance companies are smart.

They will send out undercover agents to watch and record you outside of your house. They will knock on your neighbor's doors and interview them with questions about you.

I've seen this happen twice.

The first time an undercover agent knocked on our door asking questions about a neighbor a few doors down.

The second time, an undercover agent sat in his car a few yards away from another neighbor's house and watched them from 8am until 7pm for around a week.

In other words, if you don't keep up the charade 100% of the time, you are going to get busted.

Think about it, not only do you have to act seriously hurt without making it look fake, you also have to talk to people like you are hurting.

For example, you can't tell friends or neighbors about the fun things you do or how you have zero pain because they will tell the insurance company.

You will have to live a life of lies and that will get complicated really quickly.

#15. Prostitution

prostitution

People are always looking for a good time and if you are willing to provide that good time, you can make some money.

Unfortunately, it is illegal most everywhere.

And with more people open to having one-night stands, and the ease at finding these people online for free, it is tough finding someone to pay for a good time.

Still you can find some websites where you can list your services and most likely you will get some interest.

#16. Embezzlement

The final option for how to make money illegally is probably your best shot at getting away with it (though you will probably still get caught).

A typical embezzlement scenario is the person who handles the billing at a company funneling some extra cash to themselves.

You see this all of the time on the news that someone in the accounting department at a small business was taking money off the top for the last 10 years.

They end up taking hundreds of thousands of dollars by simply padding the books.

No one suspects anything because it is usually a nice, friendly, middle-aged woman who everyone thinks is a saint.

All the while, she is living an extravagant lifestyle with the money she is embezzling.

Wrapping Up

I hope you enjoyed the fun look at illegal ways to make money.

I am sure there are tons more, but these were the ones that interested me the most.

Your takeaway here, other than all of these options are illegal and will ruin your life when you are caught is that you will most likely get caught.

You will start off small, making a couple extra bucks here and there.

Then you get greedy and want more. A lot more.

You get cocky, make mistakes and leave a trail.

Eventually you then get caught. It's not worth the risk.

If you want to make money (and stay out of jail), the old-fashioned route is the best.

Invest in yourself by getting a good job, live within your means, and invest for the long-term.
