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?

ebay & paypalNeed I say more?
Ok then!
I've been done when stuff hasn't shown up that I've bought but paypal/ebay fail to intervene or recover money.
I've been done when I've sold stuff and then paypal have taken back money as they person used a dodgy card for payment.
I've been done when i've sold stuff and it got returned only to find they'd gone to the effort of dismantling a mobile phone and substituting a faulty circuit board (the IMEI sticker was right but didn't match the phone board).
And the biggest insult of all.... Having sold something on ebay and it's gone for a low price, you then get F*cked for ebay listing fees, ebay selling fees and the final nail in the coffin they then pay with paypal and ebay get paid AGAIN!
(Yeah I know I don't have to accept paypal OR sell on ebay, but it's the best place to sell most crap and people don't want to do bank/cheque payment anymore).

GrrSome twat used my PayPal account to buy £700's worth of stuff. The money still went out of my account even though I told PayPal it was theft. That was at the end of July and I've only just got the last of the money back. Fucking PayPal.
