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?

At workI work in a gift shop selling random bits and pieces. A few months ago some person came in saying how nice one of our staff was, since she had help his mother pick out some gifts for his sister.
He then said that the sister had been run over by a car and killed, and he wanted to return the gifts, but he didn't have a receipt.
The owner of the shop felt that this was fine, since after all he had just lost a sister. We refunded the gifts he had and he left pretty sharpish. It was only later that we began to think about this... if you've just lost a sister surely you wouldn't be thinking about getting your money back on 30 quids worth of stuff. We later noticed the bastard had just taken stuff off the shelf, then took it up to the counter.
Fucking scumbag. Such a low thing to do, saying his sister is dead. We later found out that he had also conned over 200 quid off another shop down the road a few weeks before, producing an invoice for goods that didn't exist that required payment.
There are some fuckers out there.
