mexican bartender
Once I was in a bar in Tijuana with a buddy. I had just ordered two beers, and handed a twenty to the waiter, turned back to continue talking to my friend, and when I looked back at the waiter he had quickly switched my 20 for a dollar bill, he had a totally innocent look on his face. gotta hand it to him for being ready to scam a dumb ass gringo...
another time I was in Hong Kong, and my watch happened to break. so i asked the hotel desk where a watch shop was. I was out wandering around lost and some guy popped out of an alley and said "hey, need a watch?" and I as like, "uh, yea, actually I do, whatcha got?"
I ended up buying a fake rolex for $50. Which served me well for about a year and a half.
funny part was the guys name was Carlos.
another time I had a teacher in Junior FVCKING high school that ran a scam on the whole class. he was an end of the year sub, and collected money to buy a gift for a student that was in the hospital (this part was true)
then he said he would take one of hte students to the hospital with him, but he would draw a name at random, and only the chosen student would be notified. I though this was kind of wierd until I thought about it a couple years later...
BUT, the best scam I ever heard of, (not this thread I know but still pretty funny) was an australian dude about 10 years ago. They put an ad in a magazine for a 6 hour porno tape for only ten bucks. You sent your money in, and then three or four weeks later, you'd get a letter saying "yea, we're sorry, but we can't sell porno over the mail, here's your ten bucks back" but it was on a company check that said something like "sheep A$$ fvckers and horse sperm swapping midget fecal freaks". And most guys would be like, "um, yea, tearing that check the fvck up...." and the scamming guy could keep the cash free and clear.
