11 Best Illegal Hustles to Make Money Fast

10. Ring scam

If you are living in a city which is a very popular touristy place, you’re very much in luck. All you need for this scam that ranked 10th on our list of best illegal hustles to make money fast are a few ring, depending on how much money you need. Living in a city with famous sites helps due to the fact tourists are usually more gullible, unprepared than the locals (though they can be your source of income, too). You take an expensive looking ring, approach a stranger and ask: Excuse me, have you lost a ring? Is this yours?” “No” is the answer you want to hear. Then you go on explaining you’ve been trying to find the owner, but it’s just no good, and you wish to sell it for (you name the price; it shouldn’t be high). Every tourist would like to earn some money while spending so much in a foreign country, so this scheme is a success. However, should the person answer it is his/her ring, you’ve met your fellow conman.
