Read about a cracker if it is true Thieves bought a fruit machine off ebay Went in to a pub in London in November and said to the staff behind the bar that they were in to swap the machine over They walked out with the pub puggie full of cash emptied it and went in to the next one and did the same again and again It turns owners of the pubs do not own the machines They get a cut of the takings when the company that owns them opens them!

Buy a cheap framed picture.

Go to a pub and ask to leave it behind bar while you run an errand.

Get a mate to go in to pub,pose as a customer and offer to buy picture for £2000. Landlord will tell him it's not his to sell. Mate leaves contact number with landlord if he can get his hands on it to sell.

You return to pub, landlord asks to buy picture, you tell him £100.

Meet your friend in another pub and get pished off your 100 quid.

Foolproof.

What happened?

I Google searched for the totally real and ultra rare "adidas Old Kilpatrick" and found a website called faketrainers4unotrealshithead.Philippines.scam.com.org and bought them in good faith for $79.95, but when a pair of old Gola arrived in their stead, I took to P&B to find my avenger!

But rather than a hero, I instead found a cruel and mocking supervillian, who made a, clearly jesting, post about working for VISA stating that he could cure what ails me. I immediately sprang into action and sent him a PM, then, when he revealed that I was an idiot, I just as quickly made a bunch of hollow threats on the forum and disappeared for a long, long time.

Excelsior!

Didn't this happen on Better Call Saul? Something along the lines of his mate trying to sell a rare coin to someone in a bar?

Someone was selling an HD TV a while back on here, gave him 50 quid but still waiting for the TV :(

Did the seller reveal a potential issue with the volume, as the reason why the TV was being sold so cheaply?
