Best cons

[hammersavage]

There is a story I'm working on writing right now and the main part of the story involves cons. So I'm looking for the best cons or 'confidence tricks' you've ever heard of.

This includes get rich quick schemes, gambling tricks, fraud, long cons, short cons. This can be stuff from tinkers, con men, business men, or even every day cons that can be pulled off. Give me some feedback.



I await Bernie Madoff's input.

someone tried to get me w/ wire fraud. ?he acted as broker for buyer in belgium agreed to 54k price but could only get a check for 61k , i was to take my fee and reimburse the balance.... see craigslist list- glad i read the warnings.

[johnniehardrock]

I have a serious con me and 11 of my friends pulled.
We had to steal a fabrige egg before anothe guy stole it. We found out that it was being transported on a train in a backpack. My friend Linus had the sane bag and me and another guy started a fight on the train. While everybody was trying to help Linus switched bags and gave them one with a fake egg my friend would steal later. We all got arrested but Linus's mom pretended she was a cop and broke us out of jail. By the way this was all in Europe. Anyway we stole the egg and made lots of money.

I have a few more if you want. One was me and 10 of my friends robbing a casino in Vegs and the other was me and 12 of my friends join up with the guy we stole from the first time.

I wonder if I can get amove deal for these....

[Coach]

Off the top of my head and thinking about where I live.
I got three:
1) There was a teacher from Easton HS years ago that went to Nyc for the summer and panhandled..he made $40,000
2) Cash for Kids Judges in Wilkes Barre this past year.
3)I know People with money that used to pay for their Xmas here by buying a truckload of Xmas trees, going to Nyc, and selling them..then go shopping at big name stores and stay at expensive hotels..and still have money to take home.
