No matter how clever we are and how many scams we've seen through in our lives, there will always be at least one that trips us up.
Sometimes it's because the scammer legitimately has a new trick that no one's had time to get wise to, but it can just as easily come down to turning on the charm particularly hard or catching us on a bad day.
But while we can get pretty heated about the ones who make fools of us, it's hard to feel anything but pity for the liars who didn't even come close.
I can't imagine the kind of day that would make us fall for these whoppers.
