This is a question Conned

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

This is a QotW answer Re: Photocopying



Back in the early 1980's, before holograms and the rest, a mate of mine used to make fakes of concert tickets. Where he worked had a scanner and a (then) state-of-the-art colour printer for surveyors contour maps and the like. He found that he could make copies of tickets that would pass inspection in a dimly lit doorway. He definitely got into several gigs using this method as he used my ticket on a couple of occasions. My only stipulation was that myself and my legit ticket went in a few minutes before he chanced his arm. He never had any hassle at all.
