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?

Two suits, some soap, and a mate who looks a bit foreignBored one Thursday afternoon, we spruced up in suits and hopped on a bus to the Warsaw car dealerships. My mate Jacek introduces himself to the dealer as the personal assistant to a young English investor (me) who is looking for a sports coupe for the inevitable long-distance cruises between Poland and England. Of course, all the optional extras will be required and because of the distance it is expected that said businessman will need the full insurance packages, aftercare and services as well.
You can almost see the dollar signs (well, zlotys) rolling behind the dealer's eyes as he happily pulls out the shiniest car in the salon and holds the keys out for a test drive. And, of course, "because kilometres aren't a real measurement of speed anyway" you can go as fast as you like, dealer quivering in the back like a startled peasant.
I just can't believe BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, Lexus and Audi ALL give out free cars to 24-year olds without asking for ID...
