Just wondering if anyone else has been a victim of this. A friend dropped round earlier and offered to buy fish and chips for us. We thought it sounded cool in a low effort sort of way, so gave him a tenner. Some 20 minutes ago, he texted us and said: 'Purchase of fish and chips complete'. Since them, nothing...
Has anyone else fallen victim to this scam?
Sounds ace.
Lend me a tenner for a Chinese, ta.

You haven’t quite got the hang of scamming, have you? 😁
With hindsight, he's quite skinny, could he be an addict? Should I be compassionate? The idea kind of upsets me.
Update: he turned up with the fish and chips after all. I feel awful. Disgusted with myself. How could i have doubted him?
I think I owe everyone an apology. Sorry.
But surely they were cold and soggy after at least 20 mins?
I'd have battered the ****er if he'd tried that shit with me
So he turned up and
offered to buy fish and chips for us.
And then you
gave him a tenner
How does that work?
Soggy fish & chips>no fish & chips?
I’d have battered the ****
Seems appropriate assuming you are in Scotland
Appreciates work
How does that work?
You kind of had to be there. It was like he was using some sophisticated psychological manipulation techniques, felt like I had no control over the situation. And yeah, I know that seems improbable from the outside, but trust me, it was hard not to give in. I was actually close to giving him over £10,000, but fortunately I only had a tenner as I'd given the rest to a bloke who needed it for a train ticket home earlier on.
Surely it's fish and chip scam(pi)? Or Co(n)d and chips?
Where is PP when you need him?
I wouldn’t fritter away my Friday night making chip shop puns 😉
But your puns are the life and sole of the forum. The plaice would just be crumby without them.
You cod have gone yourself instead of getting crabby. Mind you your mate should have got his skates on.
I'm glad we've wrapped that one up nicely.
I've seen some nasty scraps over this kind of thing.
Anyway, a few weeks ago my BIL came oop North to see his Mum & met up with his bro, they were at her house & said they'd go for fish & chips for tea, for which she was thankful. They went off to the chip shop & while they were away, MIL forgot where they'd gone & had a cup of tea, 2 sandwiches & a sausage roll for tea.
Dementia setting in. 🙁
I’d have battered the ****
And then get arrested for a salt?
There are many levels to this story that we don't know right now.
Was this today or Fry-day?
And then get arrested for a salt?
Don't worry, I was really just trawling
I once bought haddock and fries from a takeaway and they cloned my bank card.
It was a phish and chip(& pin) scam.
This thread is dripping with puns! Though after PP we're fighting over the scraps.
Give him the fingers next time.
It's all wrapped up now.
Oh god, it's happening again - will I never learn 🙁
He's a forum member on here too. Should I name and shame? It's been 15 minutes since he was due to appear with the fish and chips and... nothing.
21 minutes.... is there nothing in the forum rules about this sort of thing? Mods?
Fish & Chips twice scam ? Nasty
Seems he just lured you in last time with a small-fry order - did you really splash out this time ?
In Cod we trust.
Scraps! Scraps! Scraps!
You should conspire to inflict all sorts of hakes and pains on the perpetrator, provided he doesn't prove to be too eelusive.
Could be a drug haddock?
I think he's talking polocks. We've bream here before.
Fin.
Fin???
Is this still open, or wrapped?
Is it too late to chip in to this thread?
You poor thing, it all sounds friteful.
I’m afried it is FunkyDunc. You really should know your plaice .
it all sounds friteful.
Fruits de Merde!
