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?

on a cross channel ferry..returning from a long trip on the continent i was at the bureaux de chance where the nice young lady mistakingly handed over £1750.00 for 1750.00 swiss francs. The exchange rate should have bought us about £800.00 at the time and we watched , smiled and took the dosh feeling rather happy with ourselves.....and that was it -we'd made a grand. was it a con? well not really but i suppose we could have said "excuse me but i think you're making a big mistake?" but we didn't. And we made a grand.

I suspectthat the nice young lady probably got the sack for that. Or was made to pay it back or something.
Wouldn't worry me so much if it were just a company who'd lost the cash, but I'd hate that to happen to an individual.
Must get rid of this bloody conscience!
