Have i Been Xmas Scammed ?

Options
I do not know , what do you think ? :)


Was out doing a bit of xmas shopping in a shopping centre when this old man approached me , looked ok , white beard , red suit that looked well worn , he asked me if I had a shopping list for xmas and when I said yes he offered to deliver all my items and on xmas day as well !
All I had to do was give him my CC details and leave my backdoor open on xmas eve , late night , and all would be revealed on xmas morning ! he even gave me some tablets that would make it a very quiet night so we would not be disturbed !
Now I am not so sure ...............
Thoughts ?
A Bast**d I May Be ! I Was Born One !
Whats Your Excuse ?

    Go for it. He did likewise for me Last Christmas and completely kitted the house out with a full upgrade. The only drawback was he stole a mince pie and drank some of my sherry. ;)

    Did he ask you to have a rake in his big sack?

    I would recommend cancelling your credit card. And ensuring your back door is firmly shut on Christmas Eve.

    Yes, I have come across these ex-Tesco car washers from Lapland trying to branch out into new activities - tell the Border Agency, you don't know who to trust.

    That's the most unconvincing excuse for drug dealing I've heard.
    I wasn't buying drugs officer, it was Father Christmas.:santa2:
