datal Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I saw the 'post' a few days ago, warning that these 'scrotes' were back in town, I've known of these scams for years & people fall for it every time they come. I forgot to warn my mate & he's been done for forty quid, he bought three watches, I wouldn't have paid more than a fiver for the lot. Hopefully 'once bitten'.

BlueAngel Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 YES I ADMIT I'M STUPID:loopy: :loopy: Here is my story of how I got conned sorry if it's long Me and my boyfriend went down a couple of Saturday's ago his mum had given me £50 for a TV. When we got down there I realised it was a con ( it was on the Real Hussle BBC3 a week before) but the curiosity got the better of me I really thought I was going to get something. The man was really clever with how he worded stuff he gave my boyfriend a free electric razor then he wanted to see everyone put £5 in the air we were then given a poker chip which we had to put in the air if we wanted a present. Anyway we got a cheap crappy watch for it. He then put an XBox, Nokia N90 a laptop, DVD player, camcorder and digital camera in a pile and said who would give him £60 for it we all put our hands in the air he choose one person and told one of his goons to wrap it up for him. Obviously the guy who won was in on it as no one else got an offer like that. He then wanted to see everyone put £60 in the air my boyfriend did and not wanting to feel left out I used his mums £50 and £10 of my own money. Next he bought out a camera (looked as though it was early 90s) an MP3 player and a mens and womens watch, he then went round the room asking people what they wanted my boyfriend said the camera I said the MP3 player. He took the money off us gave each of us what we'd asked for then we basically got ushered out by his goons. The goons were cacking themselves by the end, the man was really horrible he had a hammer and kept smashing it on a desk and telling people it was ok he wasn't going to smash anyones face in. As soon as I walked outside I felt sick I'd just blown his mums money on a crappy MP3 player my boyfriend was ******* himself. I can't believe I let myself get fooled by it I mean I'd watched the exact same thing on The Real Hussle on BBC3. It was really intimidating when I was standing there watching him he was shouting being rude to people half of me wanted to walk out but was scared incase they wouldn't let me or what. I've learned my lesson now though hopefully this thread will make people more aware and not to go. It was situated across from Streetwise near the more so DONT GO. Please don't reply stating how stupid I am I think I already know how stupid it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
