Guess I'm in the Unworthy Club with the rest of the losers. I didn't get the PM, either.
Does anybody remember the MyFico poster about two years ago who started a thread wailing that a whole bunch of cccs had taken major AA against him. Like he had virtually all his accounts closed or something like that "AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG, WEEP, WAIL, OH ME OH MY HOW UNFAIR!!!!" Then it turned out he'd been putting complete strangers on his cards as AUs for something like $500 a pop. Multiple strangers apparently on multiple cards through multiple banks, though some broker.
Worked great until the banks caught onto the game, and then they slammed him so hard he barely had any credit left.

Yeah, them too.
I remember that one guy in particular because what he was doing was SO egregious and because his wounded innocence was SO dramatic. He wasn't just another guy who'd maxed out his cards or apped for 21 cards in a day or something. Oh, the weeping and wailing! Then it took him about two minutes to admit what he'd been doing. He'd sold his credit for thousands of dollars and never expected any consequence.
Gunnar419- Do you have a link to that thread? Or can you remember a partial username? I am now dying to read it.

I will look for that, core.
I don't recall the guy's username and don't have a link right now, and I have to confess that the MyFico search engine and I don't have a great relationship. I will look for it though and if I can't find it maybe another old timer with a better memory or better MyFico search-fu will be able to locate it.

You can use google and restrict the search to this site, like so:
some keywords site:ficoforums.myfico.com
And you can even put in a custom date range using the 'search tools' dropdown, for say 2012-2014. So far I haven't had any luck but I'm totally guessing on keywords.

It seems like a totally legitimate way to earn extra money. Give out your credit card info so someone you have never met, who has no credit and can't get a card on their own, gets signed up as AU on your cards, on the promise they will pay you for the right to use your credit cards.
What could go wrong?
LOL, I must not be worthy, no PM.
oh, I was worthy TWICE!! Got messages from BOTH of his user names lol

Sometimes small amounts of cash cost to much in the long run
