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?

Money makes the world go round...1) I ripped a pub I worked for off for about £2k over 4 months, by charging punters for splashes, but pocketing the money myself and then once a month replacing the packets of syrup in the cellar.
2) AOL were taking money from me for someones elses internet account, so I took them to court. They settled for all my money back x2, and a years free broadband with no limits. Thing is, they never took my bank account number, so for 4 years I had free AOL.
3) I lived in Oxford, but never paid a gas or electricity bill for about 18 months. 3 years later, I hung-overly rang up British Gas so i can get put on my wifes account so I could pay the bill.
"hello, British gas"
"Hi can you put me on my wifes bill?"
"Yes thats done. We see that there was a "gjb006" living in Oxford that didn't pay his bill?"
"no thats my brother".
"Can you give us his name?"
"No, I don't know it."
"Ok, it was worth a try. Thank you."
