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?

How to Half your mobile phone bill.Every year, I phone my mobile phone provider to enquire about an upgrade - which I have no intention in taking as I'd rather get £100 on my account. I usually ask for an expensive model which is being offered to "New" customers, and they always reply, "that's not on offer for upgrade". I say I'll go and have a think about it.
Few days later, phone again and say I'd like to end my contract as well, I'm not happy about the restriction of new handsets and another provider is giving much better deals and I think it's disgusting that there is no provision for customer loyalty and I can get get it much cheaper elsewhere.
This is the crunch time, I get my contract price halved and £100 credit on my account.
My mobile effectively costs me £20 a year, and they thank me for this.
Aiming to eventually get them to pay me for using my mobile.

CashbackI'm on a 12 month contract with 12 months cashback through onestopphoneshop.com add to this that I sold the new handset on ebay for £120 and used quidco in the first place for £35 referral cashback.
All in my 12 month contract is PAYING me £155 to have a mobile phone ;-)
3rd year in a row I've done it, thought this year I may keep the handset as my 3 year old one is crap.
