Z_A786 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 ive heard about a bunch of con artists who opened a shop in town, its an auction where they convince u ure gettin a good deal and ure actually buyin a bunch of stuff that is worthless. does any one know anything about this?? also i found this 3. The Jam auction The con: Jam Auctions involve “jamming” a big crowd into a shop which has been taken over for a few days by the gang. "Lucky" customers are then persuaded to part with their money for apparently cheap-as-chips electronic items. How it works: The shop is filled to the rafters with gadgets and gizmos which are offered at a bargain price to anyone willing to pay cash for a “mystery bag” – which the hustlers say will contain a selection of products worth many times the value of the cash handed over. As soon as the victim parts with their cash they are bundled out of the shop and left to discover the harsh facts: they’ve just bought a pile of worthless rubbish – sometimes just stones in a box.
