Maybe some advice as well: Stick to your damn story.
Don't go from 'my cooler leaked' to 'my cooler exploded' or whatever, you get the idea.
I see this happening so many times, of course it's easily to fuck up with.

Also, if you fail, don't give up. If the company threats you, check their terms of service and everything, maybe there's something you can do against them.
As in example, some rep on GoPro threatened someone because of 'suspected fraud', bla bla bla. Anyway, so the rep was a CEO or something, I don't remember exactly but, in the email the CEO said that he gave his information to other companies or something to do research.
In the GoPro terms of service, it says that they won't share your information with third party services.
So basically the guy mentioned that, the CEO ended up giving the guy a full replacement and some extra stuff.

Some good advice here, I've been SEing kik and amazon for nearly 3 years, not as good as i used to be but i'm hoping to improve and get back to making big money like i used to.

This is a wonderful guide! I usually social engineer really basic stuff(for certain gaming sites). I've learned a few things from this thread, thank you! Time to go get some free coffee

Social Engineering is more than getting free stuff for sure.

Absolutely so.

Although SE'ing Is a broad term, In a nutshell, social engineering Is manipulating the person on the other end to believe, trust and give Information (to you) that they're not supposed to disclose. Whether you use that Information to obtain free Items, personal credentials or simply act as a service technician to gain unauthorized physical access to a building, Is entirely your call.

@"Ender", I'm glad you've mentioned Kevin Mitnick's book. I believe this will be of big help to those new to SE'ing. The same applies with this thread. Well done.
