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?

SMSPosted on this subject before.
Basically, I used to own/run an SMS start-up company (no, it didn't make any money) and found that I could spoof SMS numbers. Actually, I could put whatever I liked in the FROM field and it would appear on the recipients phone. (GOD, O2ADMIN, YOUR-MUM etc...)
But the fun part was if I put in an actual mobile phone number that I knew my victim would have in his address book. So, If I knew that the number I was spoofing was in my marks address list, then all sorts of confusion and mayhem could be had.
So one night I got a forwarded joke from my mate K. And in the "forward" was the number of one of his mates who I didn't know from Adam. Armed with this, and several pints of wife-beater on-board, I composed the following text which I then sent to K, but which was spoofed to come from his mate:
"K. I don't know how to tell you this but I love you and really, REALLY, want to take you up the arse"
And pressed send. And then went unconscious.
Next day, thought nothing about this until I met K who was looking a little perturbed. We had a few beers and then I told him what I'd done last night. He looked at me and said:
"You bastard. You do know that he's gay?"
And I got the giggles.
Turned out that K had spent the majority of the night, texting to his gay mate that he was flattered but that he loved his GF and wasn't remotely interested in bum love with him. His mate was then texting K back saying:
"WTF you on about - I wouldn't touch you with Tony Blair’s onna stick"
Confusion reigned. I'm good at that.
Cheers

Hell..Gaz me.
If 20 people ask for this info then I'll cough. On this QOTW.
Bear in mind that you have to pay up front for the credits, and that's not cheap (but divided amongst many might be worth it).
Cheers
