Things that will always be able to solicit money from people:
1. Get rich quick (it's always a secret...sshhh!)
People will always go for the shot of easy money, even if the odds are against them. I live in Vegas, the only place where people save up and go out of their way (42 million air travel passengers a year!) To throw money away based on hope.
2. Lose Wieght ( without diet and exercise)
Same pitch, "you can get it without working for it".
3. Get woman. Get laid.
Will work on 75% of the men out there, till the end of time.
4. Grow Hair ( usually plays on the insecurities of numer 3)
People still do chain letters.
People still do Pyramid schemes. (Multi level marketing)
People still fall for the emails to transfer cash from a foriegn country. (Nigerian 419)
People will always spend a little money, hoping to get something for nothing .
These things will never go out of style. Ever!
Anytime you can play on peoples insecurities, you will get their money. Everybody wants to believe in the "magic pill".

Couldn't have said it better. This kind of thing will never go away, and people will never stop falling for it.
