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?

Free cableI got free cable TV for 4 years in my old house. Everytime they threatened to cut us off (having not signed up/placed an order when first moved in) I would say, don't do that as I do want the service. Can you send me sales info or get a sales person to call as I might like to take the extra channels package.
Thus the disconnections team would do nothing as there was a potential larger sale.
Then when the sales person would call up I'd say, "Yes, I was interested in some extra channels but I've changed my mind and will stick with what I've got". Thus they assume nothing to be changed on the account.
That normally stalled them for 6 months to 1 year.
It all changed when BT sold the cable network to NTL. Then nothing happened for 18 months while NTL worked out what they'd bought.
I moved before they ever requested payment.
