Posted Hi there all, newbie to the boards so apologies if people have already seen this one. Idly picking through the BBC news website whilst on lunch and came across an article about scams and hustles. The first one mentioned is almost a word for word description of the Bishop/Policeman/fake money scam described by Wednesday to Shadow as his old alltime favourite! Did the writers pinch from the book or is life imitating life? Your call but a fun read nonetheless! Link is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4685868.stm

The scam is a classic one, as Wednesday says. Actually, Mr. Wednesday's description was a lot more entertaining, IMO. - Cho _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You are a Confectioner.

Not only do you delight with your sweets, but you've paved the way for a new profession: dentistry! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the blog thing: From an Ayewards World ...
