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?

New passport scanning systemI went to Paris on a coach trip for the weekend with my mum instead of having an "official family" 18th birthday party.
After getting the coach at about 5am, we arrived at Dover at some god-awful time. I was half asleep and groggy, and the driver announced we had just arrived at passport control.
"There's a new system!" he proclaimed. All the old grannies made excited noises and began to giggle and chatter slightly, as they do.
"You have to open your passports to the page with the photo on, and hold them up against the window!"
Unfortunately, yes, I fell for it. I STILL blame it on lack of sleep. I have no idea why I actually did it to this day.
Apparently it gets them every time.
