If one were to go up to random people and ask them to write their names in a notebook and donate a dollar, would it be considered a scam or something illegal?

Like if I wanted to meet a million people in like a 1 year span and I wanted to write down each person I met--name down and take a dollar from them too, would that be illegal?

I'd tell them that I wanna meet a million people and make a million dollars too at the same time and after I made the money I'd like I dunno, like publish the book or shout them out or something.

Discuss.

It's not illegal if they give up the money willingly..but I guess it depends..
 
thinking of the Simpsons episode where Homer finds the auto dialer. records a message

**Greetings friend do you wish to have eternal happiness** just send 1 dollar to Happy Dude at 742 evergreen terrace


wouldnt think you would get in trouble for that.

I don't think you would get into trouble as long as you explained what you were doing.

It's over 2500 people a day....given a 12 hour working day, its 230 people an hour (one every 18 seconds or so..) so u should make your explaination pretty quick :)

As long as you make it clear to them that they're giving you a gift and that you're not promising them anything in return.
 
It's funny cause I came up with an idea very similar to that not too long ago. I mentioned it to some people at work and some thought it was a good idea and some didn't. Some just kinda laughed and didn't know what to think. I guess cause it sounds nearly impossible to do?
