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?

I wasn't conned out of money...although I did fall for a story that a paramedic told me about how they'd been called out to deal with an electrocution, but when they got there they found a workman with two broken arms. When they asked what had happened, they were told that the workman had been digging in a trench and got some dirt in his boots, so he got out of the trench and was leaning against an electrical pylon shaking his legs to get the dirt out of his boots when a co-worker noticed him and thought that he was being electrocuted so picked up a spade and smacked him across the arms to break the electrical currant and smashing both of his arms.
Apparently its a common con by paramedics. And I fell for it. Gits!
