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?

one of many. i'm too bloody trusting.Years ago i was in Victoria station, meeting up with my grandparents who i hadn't seen in a couple of years. As they had not seen my parents or siblings for quiet sometime as well, i obliged by taking out my brand new (birthday pressie) digital camera to show them pictures of said family members.
All of a sudden we were approached by a very distraught looking girl, around about my age at that time (15/16) who asked if she could stand with us for a little while, as she had just run away from an argument with her boyfriend and she was scared he would violently come after her. Being good samaritans, we said of course she could join us and we all sat down, repeatedly asking her what we could do, what her boyfriend looked like, was she ok etc.
After about 5 minutes she abruptly stood up and rushed off mumbling "ive gotta go". It didn't look like there was anything else we could do as she disapeared from sight pretty quickly, so we continued on our way home. Sitting on the train i searched in my bag for my camara to continue where i had left off, only to find out, yep you've guessed it, the little bitch had stolen my brand new camera.
Bitch.
