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?

Most pathetic attempt at a con ever.In Dublin with the G/F, about to take a pic of her on a bridge.
A nice, but rather large and slightly threatening Oirish fellah offers to take our pic, to which I agree, albeit with my brand new rather expensive camera.
He advises us "It'll be a better background if you stand on the other side of the road".
Thinking quickly, I say "Nah - it'll be too dark."
"It's OK - I'll use the flash" he assures me.
"Erm, no - I specifically want that shop in the background - it's special to us" I say.
"Well... SOD YER THEN!" he says, thrusting my camera at me and storming off.
