Todays DNA haul! ♡
Im gonna be posting a masterlist soon along with a online scamming stores basics :-)
£600?
Victorias secret left out two entire things ??
GIVE US THE METHOD AHHH THIS IS SO GOOD OP!!
a whole laptoppppp
OH MY GOD the laptop!! also i’m obsessed with that lovely pastel corset top it’s so dreamy 😭✨💙🌙
Hello!! I’m thinking of getting into lifting, and was planning on doing a dna from aaz for my first :) do you have any tips?? Should I do only like 1-3 things or am I good w more? Are sale items good or will I run into trouble? Anything else I should know before doing this?
amazon? nice!! i’ve never scammed them before so all my info is secondhand from here and reddit.
price seems to be a bigger factor than number of items. i don’t think it rly matters, unless it’s massively out of character to how you usually order. you need to have a history of successful orders imo, so if you usually order multiple things at once go for it. the customer complaint chat is automated so it shouldn’t come up as an issue. i also haven’t heard about sale items being a problem.
wait a couple of days after your item arrives before raising a complaint. apparently, your complaint will be handled by a bot on orders under £125, any higher will net you a real person to complain to (you don’t want that.) i have read elsewhere that the bot price cap is actually £100-£200, idk. if you get a person instead of a bot, they will investigate the claim and may ask you to complete a police report on the issue.
pay attention to what you’re ordering from, bc different amazon stores will send things separately and idk if it’s a good idea to claim dna on them all. i also don’t know if it’s ethical to order from these independent amazon accs😣 i think maybe amazon handles the refunds but i’m not 100% sure on that.
wait up to 6 months between dnas if you’re using the same acc, posting address, payment etc. if you do it too often amazon can flag your acc, and even eventually investigate you or block your IP address and acc.
wait for whatever/whoever you’re speaking to bring up resending/refunding the item first. you can request a refund if they only offer to resend, and only offer a reason if they ask - over-explaining is suuuuper sus!
that’s all i got, hope this helps!
My Gift Card Scam Method
What you're going to need:
Fake email (don't use your personal info!!)
Expensive products from stores that sell skincare (Bath & Body Works, The Body Shop, Lush, Sephora, etc..)
Random address (only Bath & Body Works asks for this)
Phone number you're comfortable using
Photo of a fake rash (the one I used is below)
Photos of the products you're using to scam
A piece of paper with the fake email you're using written on it
I got this idea from another lifter, basically what you do is you lift some expensive shit from stores that sell skincare or makeup that is their own brand (Sephora or Ulta has their own makeup brands). Next you email customer service and tell them you got chemical burns from their products and you attach a photo of the chemical burns and a photo of the products along with the fake email you're using written on a paper (this is just to make you're lies more believable and to prove you actually have the product).
Customer service will most likely ask to speak with you directly on the phone. When they call you have a fake story ready (I told them I wore their products to homecoming and then I got a horrible rash). Bath & Body Works asked me for my address and zipcode so find a random address in your city and just use that. After you're done talking and you tell them your lies, they'll most likely email you with a gift card worth the same amount as the product that "burned" you. I've done this several times with different emails and different products and I've gotten like $150 worth of gift cards. If you want to scam you some free shit I attached the fake photo of the rash I was using so you can use it too.
Good luck thots and if you have any questions lmk 🤗
you can even use a fake number with an app like talkatone! youll still be able to use it to call its basically a digital burner phone
Maybe a Tip? Take it with a grain of salt, it's just my point of view.
TAGGING
I worked in retail, three clothing stores, and at each and every one, we were often asked to be on the floor and tag merchandise there while assisting the customers. At stores with pushy sales associates and not too large, not too many employees, we would also detag stuff ON THE FLOOR. I can’t tell you how many times I was told “tags in pockets? Double tagged? STOLEN. DON’T ASSUME OTHERWISE.” And yet, I would be working and drop one part of the tag (just one) on the floor and it would get lost. We’d sometimes find them and just throw them back in their bins for later tagging. My point is this: employees don’t drop sealed tags, ON THEIR OWN, on the fucking floor. We just don’t. Ever. But drop a piece to the tag? Yes. Sometimes, we do. If your store doesn’t have cameras or has inattentive sales associates, if you can do so on camera without being suspicious, walk around with the rest of your hangers like you’re still looking. Drop in two solitary areas away from sight one part vs two parts. If a sales associate sees a part of the tag missing, and can’t find the other part nearby, they’ll assume it was THEIR fault. I dropped this piece while tagging on the floor! I dropped it while bringing the bins of sensors and tags *the part that goes off, and separately the part that locks it to the clothing, kept together* while bringing it to the back, OR TRAVELING AROUND THE STORE WITH IT AND EYEING CUSTOMERS. At every store I worked at, even fucking Lacoste, that merchandise as well as the detagger were kept duplicates of on the floor for “tasks.” If you double tag an item, they’ll go check their cameras. They’ll know someone stole. If they see a closed tag on the floor, someone stole. A sales associate would never do that. If they find both parts to a tag in a pocket, someone stole. They know that. They will EVALUATE WHO IT WAS. If I saw one part on the floor, many times it happened, “Oh, silly us. Dropped it while tasking.” At the very least, there is less conclusion than those items thrown TOGETHER. Get rid of tags in the most subtle and accidental way possible. Please don’t double tag or put tags in pockets. Sales associates will notice. Either way, you take a risk. Not sure if this helps anyone, but this is how it was for me. I once found a piece and told my manager one of us might have dropped it, and she just said “happens all the time. Put it back in the bin.”
This is so smart! I work/worked retail and can confirm this.
Once again too lazy to add everything up. I love the waver!!!!! I used it today and my hair looks great!
I also love the M+phie charging pad. It’s so so useful.
Warning for VS- their lingerie not only has pencil tags but some of the the tags that are sewn in have RFIDS! So please be very careful.
so I have a friend who was caught shop lifting and she used a 1x1 N52 neodium magnet that was hidden in her bra, and literally the cops thought it was a fucking "whiskey cube", I didn't even know that was a thing, long story short if you get caught just say it's a whisky cube cause they literally look the same????
Wha….at?? have these cops never seen a magnet? do they not know what tools a lïfter uses? if this happened to me i would literally go blind, your friend is lucky agsjasjdhdkkd
????¿¿ there they are..,,., them alibi bois…
why the police think people store whisky cubes in her bra 😭
you all don’t?? what if you get offered whiskey??? you don’t just pull that bad boy out of your bra???? smh where’s y’all’s culture
😂😂😂
hi! wondering if you have any tips on finding blind spots. I’m absolutely horrible at figuring out where cameras are/where they’re pointed and it rlly deters me from concealing anything on the floor.
sure! most stores use dome cameras - these are tricky as you can’t tell where they’re pointing, so it’s best to assume that whatever dome camera you can see is focused on you. scoping out a store is helpful as you can identify blind spots before lifting and lower some of the risk. once you’ve got your blind spots figured out you can focus more on lifting during your next trip!
don’t look directly at the cameras, try to move your eyes rather than your head. you can bring a water bottle or some other drink with you, and as you drink from it take the opportunity to tip your head back and examine the ceiling for cameras. keep an eye out for obstacles that you can put between you and the cameras. things like shelves and displays, clothing racks, etc. a blind spot doesn’t have to be absolute - e.g. if there’s a shelf in front of you that comes up to your chest and a camera beyond that, you can still take things from the shelves even though the camera can see your face. you just need to make your movements subtle and focus on something on the shelf in front of you rather than what your hands are doing. a good rule of thumb is “if i can’t see the camera, the camera can’t see me.” the cameras sight line can’t see around shelves or ppl, so you can create blind spots by standing behind things. you can also crouch or lean down to create a small blind spot if there’s a low shelf or rack between you and the camera. ppl can also be used as blind spots (this is why i love to lift in crowded stores), so you can stand beside ppl and use their body to block the camera’s view of you while you conceal. however, this carries the risk of a customer seeing you and snitching.
if you absolutely can’t find blind spots, or you feel you need some extra security, i suggest trying sleight of hand methods. you can use the sleeve method where you take an item and use your fingers tips to push it up your sleeve, or the method of taking two of an item at once and putting only one back like you changed your mind about it. sleight of hand is for situations where you need to trick anyone watching rather than ensure that no one can see you, so maybe it’s worth brushing up on. in the end, finding blind spots mostly requires estimation - if the shelf you’re behind hides you, if you can trust yourself to spot all the cameras in view. i suggest scoping out blind spots multiple times on different trips to ensure you’ve found them and to memorise them, and then try a very small haul that requires minimal risk. from there you can slowly build up your confidence!
hope this helps you!😊✨
Hey y'all! The other day I went through ŁP reddit for about 4 hours. What I took back from it is a compilation on things I thought could be helpful to our community. These screenshots discuss tactics and strategies they use. One thing I can say is be SOOOO fucking careful guys. They know SO much. A lot of them are very good at their jobs. One slip up could mean getting caught. Use these to sharpen your skills. :)

any tips for IKEA?
I never tried lifting from IKEA before!! But there’s ton of blindspots so I cant imagine it being super difficult (: . As for smaller objects, I’d suggest concealing them in your bag inside a showroom, or open a closet or so “to look at the inside” and use the closetdoor as a shield for camera’s 👀. Also if certain items come in boxes, try concealing in there and pay at the self checkout!! Much lifting luck to you angel 🍀💖
reasons why y’all should lift from ikea:
- the founder of ikea, ingvar kamprad, was a nazi sympathizer
- ikea is owned by charities, all run by ingvar kamprad, therefore none of its profits are taxed, making the ingka foundation (the charity that runs ikea) the largest charity in the world, with a net worth of $36 billion dollars. it is one of the most elaborate tax evasion schemes by a company to date.
- ikea partners with lumberers that do illegal logging in romania, russia, and many other european countries. they cut into virgin forests and green belt areas which destroy ecosystems and kill native animals. they also leave these forests a mess after they’re finished logging.
- ikea chooses not to adhere to cpsc (consumer product safety commission) guidelines and knowingly produce furniture that risks consumer’s health and safety in order to retain profit. well known cases of these risks include the malm dresser recall, where eight children had died from tip overs due ikea’s neglect in removing an unsafe product from the market.
- their meatballs and weiner sausages contained horse meat in several european countries amid the horse meat scandal. also, their chocolate cake was contaminated with coliform bacteria, which is found in fecal matter.
- ikea used cuban political prisoners as well as forced labor camps in germany to assemble and manufacture furniture to sell in the 1980s.
- furniture is poor quality and made to break in roughly two years, forcing consumers to return to buy more.
feel free to add more if you wish! these ones are just off the top of my head lol.
new haul!! went in specifically to get black n red things and left with basically none of that lol. also i’ve literally NEVER worn skirts like these but today i lifted 4 of them for some reason. s2g i like blacked out in there today or something lmaooo. this is around $600 🌹
i wish🤍🥺🥺

I repeat

Also- never leave any type of tag inside the dressing room after you’ve removed it. Even if you put it on top of the mirror or blah blah blah, they check. I know because I was caught. Try to conceal on the floor and remove tags and stuff then under piles of clothing and gtfo.
No no no!
a much better way to leave absolutely no evidence is to detag/conceal in the dressing room but BRING A POCKET KNIFE. small scissors will do just fine as well. in the dressing rooms, cut the rfid in pieces and TAKE EACH BIT WITH YOU. by pieces, i don’t mean cut it into 1000 bits. i just mean 3ish pieces to ensure you’ve destroyed the signal. this way, there’s absolutely no evidence of a tag being left and therefore, they have much less grounds to accuse you of lifting (assuming you’re good on the floor and with picking items to conceal). conceal the clothing/item on your body and if there’s a hanger, try to conceal it on your body (it’s possible, just uncomfortable) or in a bag.
yall pls stop spreading that post abt gps trackers inside hangers..... its literally not true stores send hangers home with shoppers every day and it would be a major privacy violation/waste of expensive resources to put literal GPS trackers in them. that post is just fearmongering and it’s going to scare inexperienced lifters into leaving evidence.
take your hangers with you pls. google stuff like that before you reblog and/or change your lifting habits bc of random posts like that
love this, very important to vanish without a trace
“Leave no trace,” - it’s as true for lifting as it is for hiking.
So you want to lift from Michaels...
As a (finally) former Replenishment Associate/Sales Associate/Head Cashier of the highest shrink Michael’s Arts & Crafts in our district, here is everything you need to know and probably more:
Our store didn’t even have towers.
If our Instax Mini’s (which are locked up) or film (which are behind little red locks that you can use a magnet on) were source tagged, nothing would beep.
Choose your time of day wisely.
Of course, weekend nights are a lot busier and our store in particular, for whatever reason, was always understaffed. There would be 1 Framer, 1-2 SA, 1 Cashier, 1 MOD. Mid-day always has the most associates.
I recommend the morning: it’s slow, we’re trying to get our own projects done, we’re probably still sleepy.
I do not recommend before closing, as all of the employees are running around the store trying to get shit done so we can go home.
Our Copic markers are at the front in the queue line and our Prismacolor stuff is in our Fine Arts section, both of which are heavily monitored. This brings me to:
Our cameras (that actually record and can be rewound in store) don’t pan around and zoom.
Sections recorded: entrance, front registers, jewelry, fine art, receiving (”the back”/employees only), stickers, cash office.
No one is actively watching the camera monitors. If we’re bored and lazy, we’ll sit and watch, and it’s somehow hypnotizing.
I recommend concealing while walking along the outermost walls of the store, basket aisle, clearance aisle, seasonal, and if you’re ballsy- the classroom.
Don’t go to the bathroom, at least ours is next to the frame shop, aka someone gon’ see you walk in with merch.
We find empty boxes all the time. We don’t ever look more into it.
The empty box goes in receiving to get damaged out and thrown away. Ditch em in the clearance aisles if they’re too bulky.
No designated LP person. I used to joke with customers that I was LP and I don’t feel like tackling you today, but really. In all of the time I was there, we had ONE LP guy come in to creep on us and customers.
I’ve sat in the office and watched a woman rip pegs off the wall, dump a wall of strung beads into her bag, and leave the store in less than 2 minutes. We were more impressed than anything tbh.
We cannot confront you, even if we watched you put it in your bag.
We can only customer service you to death and be mildly passive aggressive.
We won’t chase you down, but the MOD will fill out a report if you were seen on camera.
***If you are caught on camera, a screen cap of you and description of the incident will be emailed to every store in the district.
Park further away y’all.
Our parking lot was shared with four other stores (the “mall” was an outdoor shopping center)
When I first started working there, my manager told me to park within 8 spots from the front because that was the limit of the cameras.
Returns/Exchanges
So you lifted something from a different store and Michaels carries the exact same one…
If you return something without a receipt, we will give you the lowest price the item has been in the past 90 days, in store credit.
We also need a valid driver’s license so the (national) system will track how often you do non-receipted returns.
If you go up to the register with random, high value items in a non-receipted return transaction (like one expensive brush, one expensive tube of paint, and a pair of jewelry pliers all at once), we have to call an MOD.
If your total refund for a non-receipted return purchase is over $100, the system will prompt for a manager override.
Cash and debit receipted return transactions will be refunded as cash. I had a coworker who would keep these receipts from people who wanted them thrown out, do the return himself, and pocket the cash.
If, for whatever reason, you have a fake traveler’s check, try cashing it in here.
Because we do them so infrequently, I had a manager take it for me, and it turned out she took an apparently fake traveler’s check and didn’t even know.
However, pls don’t use counterfeit bills here. If we get too many in X amount of time, the Operations Manager will get fired.
So you actually want to buy something?
Still apprehensive to conceal in your bag? We are supposed to look to make sure you’ve got all of the items out of the buggy, we are supposed to look inside baskets and boxes, and underneath the liner of baskets. Conceal little items underneath your bag, that is sitting in the child seat of the cart.
50% one regular priced item (with exclusions): 400100719008 is the barcode number. You can ask the cashier to type this in, in “item entry.” It will always work, regardless of what coupon is out that week,
Our employee discount is 30% off your purchase, including sale items (with exclusions): 400100451588.
Is the line too long and the framing counter is open? Be really nice and you can check out there.
Pls be nice to the cashier and don’t ask to make eight separate transactions for eight of the same coupon with the same method of payment. While lifting doesn’t directly affect my paycheck, this coupon policy abuse shit does. if the store doesn’t meet projected goals, we get less hours, which means I have less money to put in my gas tank.
Am I missing something? Ask!
Cheers to my first post after creeping the community for a week, but lifting for like 8 years. Be safe shrimps.
SEPHORA TIPS
Guyssssss So I used to work at Sephora and I always see tips on here that ARE COMPLETELY wrong!!! Let me help you please bc I lift so much from there
1) THE CAMERAS AREN’T DUMMY, but no one watches them. The managers desks are facing the other wall, and they’re always so busy. There has been one time where I walked into the back and there was one of the managers looking at the camera, and she wasn’t even looking at the monitor. She was doing her paperwork and ran out of room on the desk. I’m not saying be cocky and don’t find blind spots, but if you’re stealthy and you can slip shit in your bag in the cameras view. 2) SA’s WEAR EAR PIECES, which I know is pretty basic info, but if you see someone looking at you and talking or pressing their hand to their ear, leave. They are telling everyone to watch you. 3) ONLY PALETTES AND FRAGRANCE HAVE TAGS, I’m not kidding. That’s it. Most of the KVD eye quads don’t even have tags because they’re small. Clairsonic/Foreo/hair tools such as straighteners or blow dryers will most likely be tagged, but as for other products, go crazy. 4) DON’T YOU DARE LEAVE BOXES! Again, this is obvious. But you’d be surprised how many times when I was working I would find boxes stuffed in random places! It’s annoying, and it just makes everyone angry and super alert to any other shoplifters. Don’t ruin it for your comrades. 5) THEY CANNOT TOUCH YOU. THEY CANNOT CHASE YOU. They can check your bags, but not your purse. Only your shopping bags. 6) During Black Friday, the towers went off about 6 times and nobody even checked them. We just let it beep. It was too crazy to care. Plus, Sephora makes a SHIT TON of money during the holidays, so they don’t really care. 7) BEING IN PLAIN SIGHT IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. bring a partner to block you. I like to stand at the very front of the store, whatever display is up there (usually something like Urban Decay or Too Faced) and look at things while I keep my bag low and slip things in my bag. If they can see your face/head, they don’t think you’re trying to hide from them.
That’s all I can think of for now but feel free to message me 💜💜💜
