Easy Shortgame - Educational purposes only [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/beermoney/comments/2ibsgl/free_paypal_25/) Set up: SE creates bogus paypal promo site, prays on broke college students, redditors, where ever posted. target is in a hurry for money doesn't research the site or even check the [homepage](https://www.paypal-promo.com) . Target must provide email, full name, and code to receive offer. SE provides a bogus code for free $25 credit, promised to be deposited within 24-48 hours to buy time before anyone realizes its a scam. Follow though: SE has name and email, but no password and not enough to get into paypal. paypal only resets password by email, txt, or automated call. SE searches facebook by either email or Full Name, finds key facts, pet name, maiden name, school, ect. Resets email password gains access to all email. SE resets paypal passcode. Endgame: SE has access to paypal account and can make purchases as you, credit card numbers, and if that wasn't enough SE can reset bank password the same way and have full access to all target's banking info. Through a couple filters vulnerable, perfect subjects are targeted. 1. Definitely has paypal to use site 2. Can be aimed toward broke people who are more desperate and therefor willing to test sketchy promo Say, worst case scenario, it works 1/50 targets. This is a quick game, can be repeated easily. This isn't exactly what occurred, but could have occurred. Real promo for media purposes, not general customers. No one lost any money unless they counted their chickens early. even then, they're just disappointed
