This is a question Conned

swiftyisNOTevil writes, "I have recently become obsessed with the BBC Three show 'The Real Hustle' - personally, I think of it as a 'How To' show for aspiring con artists."

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 Ribena
I once bought a Ribena Ice Lolly, when I opened it I saw a small air bubble in the top. It was not very big but, I took a photo at an angle where it looked like the hole ran all the way through. I then wrote an email to Nestle, saying how disappointed I was, blah blah, so they sent me a voucher for £4. Big Time! I also got a letter of apology which said they'd had a word with the factory floor guys and told them to be more vigilant(edit ;).

I felt bad but 4 ice creams for free cure that quite quickly.

This is a QotW comment Vigilante?
Taking the law into one's own hands? I'd watch out next time you complain Nestle, the boys will be round! ;)

This is a QotW comment crime
i've got visions of all these Ribena lolly making people running round the factory solving crimes and dishing out their own brands of ribena-flavoured justice now.
