BitLife: How to do the Fake Arrest scam

You can become a street hustler through BitLife, and one of the methods you can use as a scam artist in this role is to fabricate arrests.

How to unlock the Fake Arrest scam in BitLife

One of the more sophisticated scams that a con artist might use is the fake arrest scheme. Unfortunately, you cannot access it right away. Only as you advance in the Scam Artist career will you be able to achieve this. You must cycle through your arsenal of scams, including the Bump-and-Grab method, the Counterfeit Merchandise scam, the Fake Monk fraud, and the Item Drop scam, in order to accomplish this successfully. Before changing streets, use a different scam strategy if you only want to repeat this on a given street once or twice.

When you switch streets, be sure to choose one with a lot of traffic, a fair level of crime, and few police officers on the street. Not by mastering these minor scams, but by developing your street smarts as a street hustler, do you unlock the Fake Arrest fraud. This will gradually rise as you pull off profitable frauds and advance in your line of work.

Your Street Smarts will eventually rise to a point where you can access Intermediate and Advanced tactics, including the Advanced category's Fake Arrest fraud. As with the earlier scams, be sure to keep an eye on the population in your neighborhood and to check the number of police officers on duty in the nearby streets. The likelihood of being detected and arrested for engaging in these scams increases as there are more police and less crime to contend with.
