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?

on a cross channel ferry
..returning from a long trip on the continent i was at the bureaux de chance where the nice young lady mistakingly handed over £1750.00 for 1750.00 swiss francs. The exchange rate should have bought us about £800.00 at the time and we watched , smiled and took the dosh feeling rather happy with ourselves.....and that was it -we'd made a grand. was it a con? well not really but i suppose we could have said "excuse me but i think you're making a big mistake?" but we didn't. And we made a grand.

that the nice young lady probably got the sack for that. Or was made to pay it back or something.

Wouldn't worry me so much if it were just a company who'd lost the cash, but I'd hate that to happen to an individual.

Must get rid of this bloody conscience!

Not really suited to the job if she's going to make mistakes like that, is she?
