True stories.......
A few years ago, some chap went into a Rolex dealer, complaining that his bling watch had stopped working a few weeks after he'd bought it. But he was even more pi$$ed off to be told it was a fake. "It can't be - I bought it on a ba flight", he stated. So then he took it up with ba - who discovered that a couple of their limp-wristed shemale trolley tarts had been buying imitation Rolexes, swapping them with genuine ones and then selling the real ones elsewhere. Their scam worked quite nicely until the chap had actually asked to buy one on their flight! It seems that ba sorted it all out and asked him to keep quiet about the event....
Another con artist went into a High St Rolex retailer and bought an expensive watch. Then swapped it with a fake and took the 'watch' back, screaming blue murder about fraudulent and shoddy goods. Offered a replacement, he yelled that he wouldn't trust them any further and wanted his money back..... Which they gave him. Result - one free Rolex. Until, that is, he was caught trying the same scam elsewhere a few weeks later.
