Murphy scam

A robbery scam where a woman poses as a prostitute and lures the john/mark into a room. When they are in bed, the woman's male partner rushes in, usually brandishing a gun and posing as a jealous husband or jilted lover. The mark leaves in a hurry, without his clothes or valuables. The perpetrators, or "Murphy artists" collect their loot and escape.

A similar version was used in the movie Porky's as a prank involving a black guy with a machete, chasing the naked crew into the woods.

New Orleans used to be the capital of the Murphy scam.

Full Body Scam

When instead of choosing to get groped by TSA officials, one chooses the full body scam. This is where everyone thinks that a machine takes revealing pictures of passengers to find dangerous items. But in fact, they are using these pictures to benefit the porn industry.

Guy: "hey I saw a playboy magazine the other day and I swear one chick had the exact same body as my girlfriend!"
Friend: "has she been on a plane recently?"
Guy: "ya just a couple of months ago! Why?"
Friend: "she must be a victim of the full body scam"
Guy: "those bastards!"

Leo-Scam

This is a common name for a small scam around the urban areas of Canada, Sao Paolo, Brazil and certain parts of the Caribbean (namely Jamaica). This is a low level hustle where the scammer puts a lot of effort for a very small reward, usually under $10 or equivalent in goods. Due to the small amounts taken the person (usually a friend or acquaintance) being scammed doesn't even realize they have been fooled until much later.

Coming over to somebody's house and stealing their change/boxer shorts/food etc...."I think I just got leo-scammed"

When leaving a taxi with several friends the scammer will pretend to have a phone call and be unable to contribute to the fare......"Did he just leo-scam me?"

Stealing tips from restaurant tables.

Sneaking into places free of charge but private ie, Hotel swimming pools.
