Isn’t it a great feeling when you pull a scam and it actually works?
You bet it is! And it’s especially great because it really doesn’t happen very often.
But maybe the tweets you’re about to see will give you some ideas.
Take a look at the scams that these folks pulled at work AND they got away with.
1. This is fantastic!
Nice work!

2. Voice activated.
This is great.
A friend and I, put up posters near printers that said they were voice activated and you just had to say commands for shit to get done.
Had everyone including the brand director and the marketing director shouting “Print” and “Scan” at machines. Hysterical

3. He loved it.
That was easy!
This client was not liking the how the data was being displayed on the screen and asked us to change it up. I just switched the display colors and showed him. He loved it ??

4. The nod of approval.
Nice work!
When I was working in a small organisation I wanted an approval for a software. There was a slim chance of me getting it.
I just said our main competitor was also using this and it would be wise to get it. I had no idea if they did.
And I got the approval.

5. Works like a charm.
Very clever…
There is a strict policy around plagiarism in our college (90% originality) for all our reports. Professors use some software to find this.
I copy stuff from internet/friend and replace some alphabets with latin alphabets which looks similar. Worked like a charm.

6. They never noticed.
And you won the bid.
Had to write a proposal + addendum where the terms insisted that it had to be 50 pages long. Put the anthem of Eritrea somewhere in those addendum pages. Won the bid :p

7. Barely any changes.
Isn’t that something?
I submitted a story, within 10 mins editor calls saying the story doesn’t make sense, you’ll have to rewrite. My colleague suggested me to resend it again after 5-6 hrs. I did the same with hardly any changes. My editor msgs: ‘This is fantastic.’

8. Just rename it.
They’ll never know.
A client kept asking for revision of an audio file. We started renaming the file as rev_5, rev_6 and so on. He approved the 7th which was the same as the first file we sent.

9. Not gonna happen.
Here you go!
Tool and die here. Had to take .001 of an inch off a piece of steel. That’s about 1/4 of the thickness of your hair.
I put the steel in the fridge for an hour and gave it back.— Chris (@Chris32525356) June 10, 2021
10. They must be really busy!
That’s one way to do it.
I put my Teams status as “do not disturb” and go to sleep. People think I am giving some presentation
