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?

Hacked.A boy from my school went to B&Q for work experience. The boss, hearing that the boy was very good with computers decided to give him control all the computers in that particular store (why he did this I don't know). So anyway, the chap decided that he would try and steal from B&Q, starting with very small amounts and taking more and more gradually.
So this was going on for a few days, but the boy forgot his boss would be monitoring him, so after the boss had evidence of the theft he called the police and the school, and the boy was arrested. The teacher in charge of organising the work experience rushed down to B&Q and the boy was crying and said "Sir! Stop them! Please!" but the teacher wouldn't do anything.
So the kid was carted down to the police station and his brother burst in demanding to see him, the police agreed to let him in the cell and once he was in there he beat the shit out of his younger brother for 'disgracing the family', then in came his mum who whacked him around the head with her handbag and kicked him.
Other than that the boy got in no trouble at all, the head of B&Q decided not to press charges, and the school didn't expell him. So his initial scam was really worth a try I guess.
