    Please do share details on what you need it for, my curious mind is wondering what it could be.

    £400 need generally just doesn't pop up last minute... sounds; odd.

    The easiest method is to sell things online or go to pawn shops etc. Even if you think you'll only get a little bit of money for something, those little bits add up and you can easily get £400 by selling off some assets! Good luck!

    You could probably beg for money or pretend to be a charity worker and probably get £400 in cash if you do it right. The best one I've ever seen is get some Primary school kids to sing at a train station and say it's for Cancer or some shizz and you'll make £400 in a day easy. I don't know how you're going to abduct 20 children and make them sing in public though.

    Just because you said not to... Your name is Indian Dancer. I'm sure you can find a lucrative field relating to that sort of area.

    Sell your stuff, we've all had to do it once or twice.
    Well except for those with rich parents/ a decent student loan.

    £400 in a week?

    The only sensible and legal option I can see is that you ask everyone you know if you can borrow a bit of money until you get to the total.

    I know most of the answers are gonna be "become a stripper" or "sleep with me" or something 'funny' like that but I'm in a desperate situation so please be serious. I need to make around 400 pounds in a week. I don't live in the UK so please try not to give me answers that involve things that are specific to the UK. I'm just looking for ideas. I don't have a job (trust me i'm trying REALLY hard to find one) and nothing valuable that i can sell. Is there ANY WAY to make that kind of money really quickly? Lol. I know its probably next to impossible but...i'm kinda desperate right now.
    why do you need £400 fast?

    I'll give you £400. You will need to send me an administration fee of £600 first.

    borrow £10-20 of all of your good friends, check out a bit of cheeky internet poker, my housemate made $90 on pokerstars over about 7hours on monday (SURE he lost $40 dollars of it yesterday, but now he has done the smart thing and cashed the rest out, he is still up 50). Lastly consider whether you mind giving old fat men a cheeky handjob, im sure youd get 30-50 for each one. combine all of these and im sure you'll manage to get 400 in 7 days.

    If you could borrow some money to start with you could buy a car or something, sell it on for profit. A lot of people do this as a job and make a fair bit.

    Other than that, gamble. Had mates that go to a roulette machine with a few quid, spend all day on it and come out with 900.

    You reckon someone could reach that total in their first week? Possible but unlikely IMO.

    Matched betting. :yep:

    I've made £400 in two months but I've been slow and have barely put any effort in. You could easily make a few hundred in a week if you have a big enough float and if you grab the big offers from the big bookies.

    Could make way more easily. You'd have to be willing to put in a few hours to find bookies offering free bets and sign up etc, but there are often £50 ones going. Plus the first bookies you find are the easiest, it gets harder the more you find. The first £400 could be reached in the first day, let alone week.

    Shame the rate of growth decreases rapidly.
