Fake Onward Tickets
Many countries require an onward ticket to enter, I was just nicked in the Singapore Airport when flying to the Philippines. This is a requirement for visas, entry, etc, and I think a windfall of profits for a travel agent.
There are many reasons to require and onward ticket and none are very good.
1. Force you to buy a ticket from that company on the spot.
2. Keep out the trash... hehehe
3. Help a travel agent to make more money.
I probably could go on and on, however the new system that has evolved is to fake tickets, with the invention of the e-ticket it has become easier.
Many travel agents will assist... if you travel agent does not know how to do so, they are either stupid or dishonest. They should say, I know how to, but I will not do so, it they do not know how to do so, then for sure you need a better agent.
There are these small pouches that travel agents put their tickets inside of, it you snag a few of them, you can make a good fake ticket.
I do not like to encourage people to fake tickets, nonetheless the reasons to have an onward ticket are pretty bad, I feel in many ways the travel agents have conspired for this idea.

Thanks for the tip. When researching countries to visit a lot of them had the "proof that you intend on leaving" criterion. I thought that was stupid considering I didn't want to have some silly schedule. I hate living by clocks and calenders.

My thoughts exactly -- I also figured it was a way for countries to keep people from blowing all their cash in-country and having to be deported on their dime.
