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?

Probably not conned...One wet and bloody awful night I went to get my last 20 quid out of the cash machine, when this guy walked up, clearly soaked to the skin and wearing overalls that were reeking of diesel. "Excuse me", he said, "this is going to sound a bit dodgy, but could I borrow a tenner for some diesel? Some neds shoved paper towels into the diesel tank of my van and I've just spent all my money with that garage along the road to get the fuel system cleaned out. Now I'm skint and they won't give me any clean diesel..."
So I gave him a tenner. He wanted an address so he could return it, but I told him to just give a tenner to someone else that needed it.
Fuck knows if I was ripped off or not, if it was a scam then getting your self covered in diesel is a long way to go for a tenner.
