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 CDsI'm sure I'm not the only one to have done this..
Not sure if they still do it, but while I was at uni there were always leaflets in magazines for CD clubs where you buy one and get about 10 free.
Every month, we would sign up as someone new, with a false name and get 10 cds delivered for nothing.
Although I was having a great time conning them, I also felt conned in the closing stages because when I went to collect the last package from the doddery old bastard that worked in the uni postroom, he said "Sorry, I remember your name being XXXX last week and now you're telling me it's YYYY - I don't think so sunshine, cor blimey etc.."
Most of the cds were late 90's crap anyway..

Student hallsLuckily our student flat in halls had it's own letter box so we managed to get out free CD's AND videos!
