NOT A LEG TO STAND ON
"What's with the long face?", said my mate.
"I've been had," I said. "On the internet. You know my dodgy knee, the injury I got after crashing into the tree? It's been bugging me for years and no doctor I've ever seen seems able to help me. Well, I saw an ad online for this ointment made from pounded Scotch Bonnet peppers. They said it was a bit like the old Deep Heat Rub, only much, much more powerful. Expensive, but I thought if it did the trick it would be well worth it. So I ordered two jars and paid online with my credit card. That was three weeks ago, and apart from the fact that I've received no product, I've just had my credit card statement and someone's been buying all sorts of stuff online with it! I'm gutted."
"Blimey," said my mate, "that's like falling for the old Nigerian letter fraud. I never thought you'd be caught out by the chili con car knee..."
