Actually I quite unsuccessful with PR. I only have one PR3 site. Hehe.
I think that google fixed this a few months ago.
People used to use "HTTP301 redirects" to fake PR. So they would enter this code:
< ?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("location:http://www.highPrSite.com");
exit;
?>
You could redirect a domain to site with high PR (like PR10 or PR9) and then wait for the next google update. Google would then assign the redirected PR to your domain. Then people would just remove the 301 redirect, and have a fake listing for 3 months.
Other people actually tested to see if googlebot was the visitor. If it was, they would show a 301 redirect. If it was a normal visitor, they would show their own site.
