Description:
When a woman who once bore the title “Financial Applications Product Owner II” at an insurance company, starts a TikTok with “this is the sketchiest thing I’m doing to make extra money,” you might think she’s playing it up for drama. But Amber Smith, a 27-year-old from Des Moines, Iowa with an MBA, is dead serious. She’s swapped insurance for the influencer business (focusing her content on reselling clothes), and she’s been picking up $40 here and there with a scheme that sounds pretty shady.<br/><br/>“I’ve started selling tradelines on my credit cards,” Smith says in the video that has since garnered millions of views across the social mediasphere. “Essentially what this is, is if a person has bad credit, but they know that they need to get a mortgage or a car loan or something, they pay money to this website,” she says, referring to Tradeline Supply Company, a San Diego based broker. “This website matches them up with me based on what they’re looking for and I add them as an authorized user to my credit card.”<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brandonkochkodin/2024/05/07/this-company-wants-you-to-rent-your-credit-history/?sh=58ff759f20e5<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

_mercedes-benz-g580-with-eq-technology-edition-one-driving-video.webp "With the all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, the brand with the three-pointed star presents the first fully electric variant of its off-road icon. It symbolises the fusion of tradition and progress like no other. The all-new electric G-Class remains true to the model’s character, retaining its angular silhouette including all iconic elements. Like the conventionally powered variants, its body is built on a ladder frame. The development team has modified and reinforced this to integrate the electric drive. Also retained is the combination of independent front suspension with double wishbones and newly developed rigid rear axle. The high-voltage lithium-ion battery integrated into the ladder frame ensures a low centre of gravity. With its usable capacity of 116 kWh, it provides sufficient energy for ranges of up to 473 kilometres according to WLTP.<br/>The four individually controlled electric motors located near the wheels develop a maximum total output of 432 kW. Together with the selectable LOW RANGE off-road gear reduction, they enable unique driving characteristics and exclusive functions. This allows G-TURN to turn the vehicle almost on the spot on loose or unpaved surfaces. The G-STEERING function can deliver a significantly smaller turning circle when driving off-road. The three-speed intelligent off-road crawl function is like cruise control for off-roading – maintaining optimum propulsion while the driver focuses on navigating the terrain.<br/>Like the tried-and-tested variants, the all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology has a gradeability of up to 100% on suitable surfaces. The vehicle remains stable on sideways slopes of up to 35 degrees. With a maximum fording depth of 850 millimetres, the electric G‑Class outperforms its conventionally powered counterparts by 150 millimetres. The LOW RANGE off-road gearing increases propulsion with a special reduction ratio. The all-new model generates the function of conventional differential locks virtually using intelligent torque vectoring. G-ROAR brings a unique sound experience to the all-new electric G-Class. In addition to a characteristic, G-Class-specific driving sound, it includes one “aura” sound and a variety of “event” sounds.")
