Scams...
As a kid I would scam my way into R-Rated movies often by buying a ticket to some other film and then quickly make my way into the dirty movie. Very intense stuff for a 13 year old.
Not A Scammer
I haven’t scammed anyone, but I love to watch others do it in movies like Grifters, Confidence and Criminal.
RockNRolla
I’ve used a coupon several times over, but I figure things SHOULD cost that price anyway and they get more money that way. Would love to see the movie!
ROCKNROLLA
No I’ve not scammed someone before. Maybe because I wouldn’t want them to run a scam back on me.
rocknrolla
Tix please
I’m not the scamming sort,
I’m not the scamming sort, but love watching creative movies with inventive scammers. Thanks for the pass opportunity. Can’t wait to see this great cast!
Rocknrolla
No, I’m an Eagle Scout.
Repeat: Not a Scammer...well maybe
Now that I have an account: I guess you could say I scammed alittle when I was a teen. Because I looked older than I was, I was never carded and was able to get in places, drink and see R movies. Of course, I would not want my kids doing what I did! HA HA Can’t wait to see Gerry Butler in this movie. He looks great!
Scam
Nope, never scammed anyone. I have persuaded people, but never scammed.
Me a Scammer?
I guess I need an account to make this work. I pretty much scammed my way through high school. Hey, whatever works right! This looks like a cool movie!
