Favourite scams? or been scammed?

[Ratreeper 441]

Have you heard about a scam that you thought was particularly clever? Or have you been a victim of a clever one? (not that it needs to be clever for most on here )

 

My favourite is called 'change raising', because it is so simple, requires no props (just some cash) or pre-planning and you can do it on your own. It was on the real hustle ages ago, just search youtube for a video which is easier than explaining it.

 

I have heard of a massive scam going on in London where a group send their minions round to every post office claiming retirement cash from fake slips. It is like printing money but easier. I think it is still going on, some proper dodgy b*****d told me about it (the way wankers do to try and sound hard or important lol)

 

Anyway, what's the best?

I've heard of one scam but it sounds so ridculous it can't be true, see what you think....

 

What I heard was that people from other countries that aren't even in the EU can come to the UK and get free money, free houses, free health care, free schooling for their many children and recently I've heard that they get subsidised fuel bills. Surely this can't be true....

not bad that, i like simple ones you don't need a team. Have you dabbled with the keys you can buy for them? They just tell you how much money they have left and other details you can use to see when it will pay out next. But with the fake note you could at least turn the alarm off with it (i think it deactivates anyway) or see which would be the best machines to try

remember buying dodgy mobiles going back 20 odd years ago when only the motor trade used them and they had free minutes but it was pot luck how long you could use them before they were cut off always more than paisd for themselves though .

Yeah mate each time I go to the pump to fill up my car, worse than scammed more like bent over the bonnet and rammed up the f*****g starfish.

 

And each time I open my wage slip to see how much the tax mans taken off me so he can provide beer tokens to the ones who can't be arsed to work....
