Known in the trade as ?the squirt?, it?s one of the oldest scams in the conman?s book. A kindly stranger notices ice-cream spattered all over your jacket and begins dabbing away at the stains with tissues. They?re so stubborn that he offers to remove the clothing to make sure it?s perfectly clean before cheerily sending you on your way and shrugging off your gratitude. Only later do you realise that your wallet, or purse, is gone. Other variations on this con trick involve mustard or bird mess, but the result is invariably the same. WIN A LUXURY CRUISE TRIP FOR TWO WORTH ?2,500! the playwright Alan Bennett, 76, has described how he fell victim to the scam earlier this year, when two well-heeled women stole ?1,500 cash. Bennett, who admits he isn?t streetwise, says the incident in which ice-cream was smeared over his back has shaken his trust in humanity. It?s estimated that scams are costing Britons ?3.5billion a year. ?Good scams have been around for hundreds of years. They are just re-dressed and replayed according to how the world changes around us,? says Paul Wilson of the BBC?s Real Hustle programme which demonstrates con tricks. ?Scammers manipulate people and situations and anybody can become a victim. It?s like baiting a trap.? Here we look at some of the classics and how to avoid them.

YOU?VE WON THE LOTTERY Out of the blue a letter, or email, arrives informing you of a lottery win. all you have to do to unlock your winnings is send a small sum of money, to cover ?admin? costs and the fortune is yours. of course, there is no win. Detective Sgt Mark Ham, a fraud prevention officer with the Metropolitan Police, says the elderly and vulnerable are the targets. It?s claimed 22,000 victims replied to one scam mail shot in a single day and sent ?500,000. What?s worse for the victims is that once they?re hooked they are added to ?sucker lists? by the organisers of the scam-mail and become the aim of further con tricks. ?I?ve known victims get up to 100 letters a day, all variations on the same theme,? says DS Ham. ?It?s vile. anyone who is asked to hand over money should be wary and remember the old adage: if it seems too good to be true it probably is. almost all of these scams originate overseas.? YOUR BANK An email pops into your inbox, apparently from your bank, informing you that your account has been frozen. To unlock, verify or update it, you are required to send your account details, passwords and numbers, using a link. in fact, it?s a con trick to persuade you to part with your security details. the scam is known as phishing, a term used to describe fake emails purporting to come from genuine companies and organisations, including the taxman and utility providers. More than 20 million of us now bank online and losses to internet scams rose by 14 per cent to ?60million last year. Matt Bath, technology editor for which?, says: ?The idea is to hook people using spoof emails and websites and con them into divulging security details, which are then sold on to other crooks. Some of these emails look like the real deal and millions are being sent every day.? There are sometimes giveaways, such as spelling mistakes, and remember that your genuine bank will never ask you to divulge your security details in an email or to use a link. THE GOOD SAMARITAN the best con artists know that most of us will help a fellow human being in distress. Who can resist the pretty damsel who has lost her purse and needs a tenner for a taxi home or a respectable businessman who claims to have lost his briefcase and asks to borrow a small amount of money? He?s even more convincing because he promises to repay the cash and hands over a business card bearing his name. We?re particularly vulnerable to this type of scam because it usually involves a direct appeal, which is hard to refuse. ?Most people get a warm feeling from doing a good deed because it makes us feel good about ourselves and is a human driving force,? says Paul Wilson. ?Con artists prey on that. Scams are not all about victims being greedy.? 419 SCAMS Also known as the Spanish Prisoner scam, these con tricks persuade victims to part with money with the lure of much larger gains. Typically they involve emails from strangers in foreign countries who claim to know about a fortune but need your help accessing it. Masquerading as a personal approach and often addressed ?Dear friend?, they usually involve elaborate cover stories. in fact thousands of identical messages have been sent in the hope that someone will bite. More than 78,000 of these letters were received in London alone over three years, in a confidence trick which could be costing Britain up to ?150million a year. the scams originated in Nigeria, where statute 419 is supposed to prevent them. the letters will often suggest that if you allow the sender to use your bank account for a large deposit then you will receive a percentage. one British victim who believed he was to inherit a ?4million fortune from a distant relative paid ?85,000 in ?admin costs? before realising that he had been duped. ?This scam is a modern version of a con trick which has been around for 400 years,? says Wilson. ?The scammers feel no guilt and blame their victims for being so gullible.? in a variation, users of dating websites are contacted by apparent lonely hearts who gain their trust before asking for money. HUGGER MUGGERS at the end of a night out, an overfriendly stranger approaches and gives you a bear hug. It seems like nothing more than high-spirited exuberance but later you notice your mobile phone or wallet is missing. ?It?s a form of robbery,? says Detective Insp Steve Lane of the Met Police. ?As well as hugging it can involve dancing or playing football, where there?s some physical contact. the targets are usually people who have had a few drinks and let their guard down after leaving pubs and clubs.? you can avoid this type of crime by keeping your phones and wallets well- concealed in inside pockets and being wary of anyone invading your personal space, however well-meaning they might appear. SHOULDER SURFING at the cashpoint you carefully key in your PIN and the amount you want to withdraw then you feel a tap on the shoulder and the person behind you asks if you have dropped a ?10 note on the floor. you know it?s not yours but you avert your eyes from the bank machine to look at the note. By the time you look back your card has been snatched from the machine by an accomplice. the shoulder surfer has already memorised your PIN and within minutes cash will be withdrawn from your account. More sophisticated versions of this scam involve tampering with the cashpoint machine by using a device that captures your card details. Matt Bath of which? says: ?When using an ATM always use your hand as a shield over the keypad. A new trend is targeting pay machines at petrol stations.? LOOSE CHANGE SCAM You?re out shopping when a young woman spills a handful of loose change all over the ground. She?s clearly flustered and close to tears as she scrambles on the floor for the coins so you gallantly step in to help. while you?re busy using both hands to gather the money, you let go of your handbag or briefcase. You?re so intent on finding every last coin that you don?t notice an accomplice moving in and expertly removing a mobile phone or purse. Wilson says: ?The best scammers engineer a situation where they have a reason to be close to you, where you are distracted and your guard is dropped for a few seconds. That?s all it takes to rob you.   ?We?re also more vulnerable when we?re rushed into making decisions rather than taking time to think.? PREMIUM-LINE SCAMS you receive an official-looking letter warning that you?ve run up a big bill of some sort. It urges you to dial a number to deal with the matter but it?s charged at premium rates and takes many minutes to sort out. Another version involves the lure of a big prize such as a car or holiday but, in fact, you?ve won nothing or a much smaller prize, which is worth less than the cost of the telephone call. Profits from the calls go to the organisers of the competition. ?It can be very tempting but make sure you read all the small print,? says Simon Cripwell of Warwickshire trading standards. ?Even if a prize is guaranteed it?s highly probable that you will win something small, such as a cheap piece of jewellery.? Legally, organisers must make it clear exactly how much the call will cost per minute and the duration. Watch out for numbers beginning 090, which tend to be expensive. TAKE MY PHOTO at a popular tourist attraction a young man approaches and politely asks if you?d mind taking his photograph. happy to oblige, you place your bag on the ground, while he poses happily for the snap. You?re so intent on getting the best angle and squeezing everything into the shot that you don?t notice an accomplice who is rifling through your bag, or pick-pocketing you. A variation of this scam involves someone offering to take your photograph then sprinting off with your expensive camera. ?People should be more cautious and aware,? says Wilson. ?However, it would be a shame if we all view every stranger as a potential con artist.?

        If you were looking to cash in on Arizona’s cash for appliances program… You’re out of luck.

        In just a few hours, bargain-hunters burned through six-point-two million dollars…leaving the rest of us in the lurch.

       9 On Your Side wants to know how this program shut out so many people.

        It boiled down to too much demand, not enough supply and savvy aggressive consumers who learned how to make the program work for them before some other consumers even knew it existed.

        Larry and Jan Sundberg really need a new washer.  They made sure they were calling the rebate line the second it opened.

        Larry says, “I pre punched the number into the phone about two minutes to six.  Just at six o’ clock I hit the dial.  It rang through busy.  I hung up immediately and hit the re-dial.. That time it went through after about the third ring, they answered.”

       But if you couldn’t be that early a bird, you probably heard something this message: “Sorry the mailbox is full. You cannot leave a message for this user.  Good bye.”

       Those juicy appliance rebates…they range from $125 to $425 dollars are federal stimulus money, but the Arizona Commerce Department set up the program.

        So we asked Commerce the questions a lot of people were asking while they burned time on hold…

        KGUN’s Craig Smith asked: “Could things have been done to improve the capacity and reduce the frustrations for people?

        David Drennan of the Arizona Commerce Department replied: “Unfortunately technology isn’t there for that and it’s just because so much demand. You have a start time of 6 am and everybody hit it all at one time.”

        Larry and Jan spent more than 45 minutes on hold but they got their rebate.

        Jan Sundberg says, “I just need the washer.  I’m glad I got through.”

       At Christie’s Appliance, Doug Betts says some customers knew the rebates were coming eight or nine months ago.

        Craig Smith asked: “Did this stimulate demand or just have demand sitting on the sidelines for a few months that’s just now hitting the market?

        Doug Betts:”I think your second point’s probably the most, that had the biggest effect.  Some people waited on the sidelines for this to come about.  Obviously people who were on the market who just came on the market who were able to get the rebates obviously this turned out to be a good deal for them.”

        You had to be pretty alert to even know about this program.  We didn’t see any advertising…There were a few news stories.

        Some people found out from a story about problems the contractor running the program had in other states.

            But state commerce says the fact the money went as fast as it did suggests the contractor did well today.
