    I was once young and broke living in London, only broke now these days, I was waiting on a bus back from work. Some lad asked me for a pound for the bus. I usually would never do such a thing but obliged for whatever reason. He goes into the shop just at the bus stop and comes out with a can of beer. He cracks it open in my face, thanking me, and walks on. I haven't given money to a beggar since.

    I was very drunk one night on Patrick street cork

    Got chatting ****e to a homeless guy about his rough life [he was a pity ]

    Ended up giving him a tenner and said will you get a cup of tea and a sandwich with it

    He bluntly replies , no im gonna try to go halves on a bag of gear[heroin]


    I literally just walked off in anger



    Why bother ........

    On a driving holiday of the states, driving for hours on a really remote road- didn't see a single car in about 4hrs. Next thing there was a handmade sign pointing down a dirt road which said "Garage Sale". We were so bored from the driving and thought a stop for a look around a garage sale would be cool. We headed down the road and must have only been about 200metres down it when we both started to hesitate at the same time. What if there's no garage sale and it's some lunatic with a carving knife? You'd never be found the place was that remote.

    So, we left and I guess we will never know what was down there. Could have been a garage sale. Could have been a serial killer.

    Over the last month I became a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam, while out shopping. Simply dropping into Tesco's for a bit of shopping resulted in the following...... Don't be naïve enough to thinkit couldn't happen to you or your friends.Here's the scam works:Two very good looking voluptuous 20-21 year-old girls came over to my car as I was packing my shopping into the boot. They both started cleaning my windscreen, their boobs almost falling out of their skimpyT-shirts.When I thanked them and offered them a tip, they said 'No' and instead asked me for a lift to another supermarket. I agreed and they both got in the back seat.Onthe way, they started undressing, and both got completely naked.Then, when I pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbed over into the front seat and started crawling all over my lap, trying to kiss me and touch me intimately, thrusting herself against me.While the other one stole my wallet! I had my wallet stolen July 4th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 20th, 24th, and 29th.Also August 1st, 4th, 10th and twice yesterday.

    Organised religion.

    So successful it gets tax breaks, uses the education system to indoctrinate children and not only do most of its victims actually defend it but some are prepared to die for it.

    The greatest scam of all time.

    I had great craic with that lad outside a garage in Johnstown or somewhere along the old Cork Dublin road.
    He starts with "gifting" you a jacket, then asking for a contribution towards another couple of jackets. I gept trying to make off with the "gifted" jacket, thanking him profusely while saying that, unfortunately, the other items just weren't to my taste.
    This went on for about 10 minutes until I finally gave him back the jacket and he finally stopped trying to get money off me:D
    It was highly entertaining.

    "Hmm, I'm afraid that doesn't fit me very well, but I love the jacket I'm wearing which you gave me. Thank's so much!! I have to go now."

    Reminds me of my mate when we were younger and had made the yearly pilgrimage to Magaluf. The African lads would be selling fake watches and "gold" necklaces.
    Well this fecker would torment the lads. They'd have a necklace on you in an instant then start the bidding process. My mate would keep walking with it on and saying "thanks very much...Free yes" Then he would try on watches and argue the prices with them....Offering stupid prices. I'll give you 5 cents for it...No? 4 then?
    Got to the stage that they would cross the road whenever they saw him coming every evening!!

    or almost fell for. A couple years back, I got the "gardai virus" (type of scareware) on my laptop which said I'd need to pay €150 to unlock my laptop. I stupidly entered my debit card details and on the weekend, found that not just €150 but 300 was taken from account leaving me with just €20.
    It isn't too many many of the smug fellows on boards would admit to a mistake like that.

    Rented a room for a short term of 2 months .... paid month up front and a months deposit. Lovely house and the ‘couple ‘ who owned it seemed nice. Things didn’t seem right as they didn’t seem to be working but gave me a business card with their company details in the city (London) where they said they were auctioneers. About a month in .... they asked me to leave as they were selling up. No problem.... just give me my deposit back. They said come back next week and they will have it. I moved and called next week... and a different man answered the door. It seems the couple were house sitting for a wealthy couple to mind the house and they saw a chance to rent the rooms while the owners away. Real owners were very nice and they too had the same business card and I called to the office address. Only a girl answering phones for hundreds of clients who used that office as a answering machine. Never tracked gem down ... but wrote to Inland Revenue and owners of the answering machine office advising e on the scammers operating from their. Hope they rotting in some foreign jail now having tried this overseas somewhere!!! I can dream!!

    Wife and I landed in Paris one night many years ago and caught a connecting train into the city centre. Once at the central station we decided to get a weekly metro ticket each, to get us to our hotel and cover us for the rest of our trip.

    While we were working our way through the ticket vending machine instructions, a 'helpful' pensioner passing by, offered to assist. He explained that the ticket offices were closed that time of night, and the machines only renewed tickets for existing metro card holders. He had one and would get our tickets for us (I know.... alarm bells should have sounded).

    He put his card in and punched up a request for two weekly tickets, showing us what he was doing every step of the way and the end price for the two tickets, which we then gave him in cash. All seemed fine and our tickets popped out, we said thanks and goodnight. We then headed to the gate and our new tickets let us through to get a train to our hotel.

    However, the next morning, the tickets didn't work at the gate and a metro staff member explained that they were only single journey tickets and they had been used last night. We were conned, but it was a clever one... I didn't expect the first person we met in Paris to be a friendly pensioner confidence trickster.

    I bought an absolutely useless deodorant from a well known aloe vera company my sister in law was pushing on us a few years ago. My pits stank and Mr Bubo nearly left me.

    I got caught out by a chugger a few years ago and signed away €10 a month to a bloated CEO.

    Biggest mistake was signing a too good to be true contract with a door to door salesman for a rural broadband package that was worse than useless. Worst thing was, fibre was available in the area a month later and I was stuck for a fcukin year with sh1te service .

    Lesson for the young wans - Never ever buy anything on your doorstep.

    Still feeling convivial from the night's proceedings, and grinning like I had an advanced case of tetanus, I decided to humour him, and sat cross-legged on the ground while he went rifling through my backpack. The strange thing is, I knew he wasn't a real Guard, but was in no mood for an argument to spoil my night. On some level, I think I even thought we might be friends and maybe this would be an amusing story I could tell at his wedding.

    I was still capable of some cognitive tasks, however, because I did a quick mental inventory of what was in the bag -- nothing important, just a raincoat and a newspaper,and I deliberately don't carry a wallet (to avoid incidents like this), so no biggie. He went off empty-handed and I went home to bed.

    I woke up next morning having forgotten the whole thing, after checking my personal phone, reached for my work phone. But It wasn't on the locker. It wasn't in the kitchen. Nor the bathroom, nor my jeans -- and then I saw the open, empty backpack on the floor. It turns out I really didn't have any basic cognitive intelligence, and of course I'd had my work phone out, and of course he'd stolen 700 euro of phone which was absolutely useless to him anyway, as it was locked. And the Guards* tell me that once it's blocked, it can't be unblocked unless the phone leaves Europe.

    *Obviously I didn't tell them the whole story. In the sanitised version, it was an opportunistic pilfering.

    I didn't get the phone back, and tbh, I didn't deserve to.
    For a person who uses the word 'convivial', I thought you might spell 'too' correctly!

    Dodgy taxis won't ever park outside your hotel in case you complain, they'll say something about roadworks and leave you a little bit away where you feel isolated.
    £80 would have been around 160,000 lira back in the day. After I gave the taxi driver, say three 50,000 lira notes, he then says I only gave him three 5,000 lira notes which he's switched and shows me.
    You're only just in the country and doubt easily sets in that maybe you did mix up all those zeroes.

    Bear in mind that because the card over the meter was hiding the digit '1' in 100,000, the fare was already (over) double what it should have been.

    No, never caught him. Police would never have even investigated it, just recorded it. Probably covered by work business insurance as long as they had a police report so that staff aren't likely to make it up.
    Even if workplaces don't claim from insurance I would expect most business to reimburse their employees for any loss incurred while travelling on their behalf.

    I didn't fall for that one. But I did have the same guy try it on me twice. The second time he tried it on me I got annoyed. To think he'd tried it on so many others in the meantime that he couldn't remember me. I tried to call him out but I didn't get any way near as as much satisfaction as I'd hoped for.

    CAR PARK SCAM: BEWARE!

    Please BE WARNED! Over the last month I have become a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam whilst out shopping.

    Here's how the scam works:

    Two very good-looking 20-21 year-old girls of eastern European origin come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot.

    They both start cleaning your windscreen, their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T- shirts.

    When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead they ask you for a lift to another supermarket.

    You agree and they both get in the back seat.

    On the way there, they start undressing, until both are completely naked.

    Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet!

    I had my wallet stolen twice yesterday.

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    Worst scam for me was lending over €4k to a friend....

    Long story very short, he rang asking could come over.
    I did later that day, he broke down crying stating they would lose the house they were renting....

    So I transferred some the next day, he then came looking for more not long after.... Promised to pay within 2 months....

    Never happened but he was injured and out of work for a time so didn't question or ever ask....

    Turns out he got a pay out in high 5 figures and never told me.... I still never questioned and after a few weeks in passing just said ah have you heard any more of the injury claim they take forever.....

    His reply, man fluck you etc etc and what you going to do sue me.... So in the end after court and costs I'm down over €5k he paid back €1,900 over 4 years and never got the rest.....

    What a flucking a hole.

    And where was said bar?

    Strictly for research purposes of course...
