Being Duped/Conned

[Eve]

Have you ever been conned or duped into believing something that wasn't true - can be through a joke or serious.

I remember when I was 6, someone told me that the rag and bone man was really the child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang, I used to hide when I heard him blow his horn, I used to think he shouted "child-ren!!" instead of "Ir-onnn"

I fell for that "flying penguin" article on BBC news on April Fool's Day.
I got so excited too :o(

My brother used to believe that there was a little man who lived in the fridge who turned on the light when you opened the door.

i used to believe that cars had a switch in them which turned on the cats eyes in the road

MccFluff;
I think it was the idea that they'd finally evolved and taken flight that appealed to me.
What a shame.

I was also duped into thinking that my ex husband was a nice man; but that's a totally different story.

Cant think I have but I get people with things all the time. After telling my bloke this morning I died his Leeds top Blue I have now just told all my mates I;m meeting up with Saturday night that I've had to cancel as just realised eurovision is on

I only found out in December that Father Christmas doesn't actually exist!

You would have though that after 30 my folks would have said something.

Im never gonna get that bike now

Spaced goes off to sulk

I think such dupes and scams are a disgrace, the people that think them up I suppose they imagine they have a 'sense of humour'. .....

lol sorry Andrea

I was pretty convinced that :
-bazooka bubble gum when blown would fill an entire room
-space invader crisps, when tossed skywards, would elicit the immediate decent of alien spacecraft. No wonder I was always starving
-xray specs from backs of comics actually worked.

duped. so duped.
