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?

Aged eight and a three quartersMy local paper featured a weekly competition with a cash prize. I was a skint teenager with an expensive girlfriend habit, but by regularly sending in an entry I could top up my pocket money with enough for a trip to the flicks or a packet of three.
I figured, correctly, that "Uncle Arthur" of the "Kiddie's Korner" was never likely to invite me in and thus unmask me as considerably older and spottier than the talented junior I claimed to be.
