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?

My DadTold me about the time he conned Sven Goran Eriksson...He was the manager of Gothernberg or something =S Anyway my Dad and his mates went out to Sweeden when Arsenal went to play them in the Uefa cup(i think).
They didn't have any tickets and like most cocky mid 20 year olds they though they could travel out there and buy some tickets from a tout. Anyway so it turned out they were staying in the same hotel as Sven, My dad uses the phone to ring him and play the sympathy card "my wife and children are all out here and we all really want to see the game but haven't got any, If you could get us some and i can get the money to your room i would be grateful" or some bullshit like that.
Stupid Sven actually believed him and low and behold the tickets arrived at his room....I wonder if Sven rings the hotel every week asking if he's money has turned up ?
Length? I don't want to know...
