Dark Side or not, it's always good to say, "Hey, folks. Don't forget, this is illegal. Do it at your own risk. LH is not responsible for any trouble you may cause/get yourself into! " First of all, Dark Side articles have a completely different vibe than almost every other article. Adam Dachis, however, is spinning it to advocate identity theft.

Let me make this final point clear: I am not against these types of articles in general. Presenting both ways to protect yourself from identity theft and then ways to steal another person's identity (with a joking tone or not)?

A Lottery Loophole (Sorry, Now Closed) in Massachusetts. (iStockphoto) In the Boston Globe, Andrea Estes and Scott Allen write about how people have been taking advantage of a statistical quirk in the rules of an obscure Massachusetts Lottery game called Cash WinFall. A Michigan couple in their 70s, Marjorie and Gerald Selbee, spent three days buying more than $600,000 in Cash WinFall tickets from two convenience stores in Sunderland, Mass. Their timing was purposeful: For a few days about every three months, Cash WinFall may be the most reliably lucrative lottery game in the country. Because of a quirk in the rules, when the jackpot reaches roughly $2 million and no one wins, payoffs for smaller prizes swell dramatically, which statisticians say practically assures a profit to anyone who buys at least $100,000 worth of tickets.

During these brief periods – “rolldown weeks’’ in gambling parlance – a tiny group of savvy bettors, among them highly trained computer scientists from MIT and Northeastern University, virtually take over the game.

It typically aims to rob the victim of everything in his or her wallet.[2] A long con or big con (also, chiefly British English: long game[3]) is a scam that unfolds over several days or weeks and involves a team of swindlers, as well as props, sets, extras, costumes, and scripted lines. §Stages of the con[edit] In Confessions of a Confidence Man, Edward H.
