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?

Whilst clearly Leyxiais a loathsome and contemptible individual, he did remind me of a scam that I didn't even intend on commiting, but did nonetheless.
Whilst living in Colorado I decided to buy a playstation as I was addicted to Tony Hawk (the game, not the man) and hadn't played it in the 3 months I'd been away. As I was living like a backpacker I couldn't afford a new playstation so decided to take a risk and bought a second hand one.
When I got it home I found that it would work for 5 minutes and then stop due to the fan being broken.
As it had only cost me $50 I wasn't that gutted. Anyways, I then found myself in a large store that starts with W and rhymes with fart looking at playstations to see if I could actually afford a new one. I got talking to the sales assistant and explained what had happened.
They suggested buying a new one form Walmart and then take it home and swap it with the old one and then bring it back with the reciept and get a refund.
And that's how I got a brand new playstation for $50.
Whilst I deplore people ripping off the general public I have absolutely no qualms about ripping off a company such as this - they are cunts of the highest order and care nothing about their customers. Much like our dear friend Leyxia.
