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?

Boot and Maggot
Sold stolen copies of Fiesta for 2 quid a copy.

That was a 200% markup, and not bad for a couple of spotty 14 year olds taking advantage of young boys hormones and dirty minds.

It all fell apart when they went upmarket and started nicking Mayfairs from the local newsagent.
They would stuff them in a copy of the times or other broadsheet and smuggle them out of the shop therein.

However, Maggot loaded his paper with too many copies and they all fell out on his way to the till.

He apparently jumped over the ice cream freezer to avoid being caught by the irate shopkeeper.

Er
surely if you nicked them and therefore were free, a 200% mark up of nothing is still nothing?

Does it really matter?
They were flogging nicked porn, pedantry has no place here.

Just making sure you were looking after your profit margins Mr Hefner.

Erm
Yeah, avoid that pedantry porn, no place for it here, you'll be sharing a cell with Chris Langham.

How many packets of Mayfairs can you fit in the Times? 20s or 10s?
