This is a question Conned

swiftyisNOTevil writes, "I have recently become obsessed with the BBC Three show 'The Real Hustle' - personally, I think of it as a 'How To' show for aspiring con artists."

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 still don't get it
Some scams have verve and panache and get one up on someone who deserves it. Some are just pusillanimous.

Your advice may all be true, and you may get away with it. Fine. People get away with all kinds of things. Nevertheless, some of those things - and this group includes your stunts - are simply infra dig., and there's no need to say anything more about them. (Need to look up that elegant little phrase? Off you go, then.) To this extent, parading them around in a forum like this is something that no minimally decent person would do - not out of concern for the victim (though, God knows, that's relevant) - but out of a care for themselves.

What you're doing at the moment is something like showing off about your unusually low reading-age and expecting credit for it.
