nearly got scammed in B&Q yesterday

Postby dontpannic on Fri Dec 12, 2008 3:09 pm

I'm not usually one for posting warnings about potential scams but I had a close call yesterday.

I walked into B&Q hardware store at lunchtime and some old guy dressed in a black shirt with an orange apron on asked me if I wanted decking. Fortunately, I got the first punch in and sorted the baxtered out. Those less suspecting might not be so lucky.

Pass this warning on

Hmmm... is it any coincidence at all that I heard Omid Djalili say exactly this on Never Mind The Buzzcocks on Thursday night? :P :lol:

Still good though! :D
