Scams, Shams & FlimFlams

I’ve got a new monkey cartoon to post, but I realise I’m posting nothing at the moment but crappy cartoons, so thought I ought to do a text only blog first.

And not just a text only blog, but an interactive one!

I’ve been asked to design a section of works website, similar to http://www.ripofftipoff.net/ but less horrible and gaudy.

Basically, somewhere we can list the current most common scams going on in Warrington, with advice on how to deal with them, and the facility to report scams to us.

Designing the page is no problem .. but coming up with a catchy branding is where I’m coming unstuck.. which is where this gets interactive .. I’m looking for suggestions (use the comments below).

It needs to be catchy, but also do what it says on the tin.

Personally I like: Scams, Shams and Flim-Flams, but no bugger else does smile

If it also has a nifty acronym, then all the better, it’ll tie in with our current domain branding (TSwarrington.co.uk for Trading Standards, AMTwarrington.co.uk for Approved Motor Trader Scheme), so Scams or Shams would work out nicely as SoSwarrington.co.uk .. giving it a double meaning .. altho Scams or Shams sucks

Any ideas gratefully received, possible words to get you started ..

scams, shams, flim-flams, deceptions, hoaxes, frauds, fakes, cheats, liars, swindles, falsehoods, chicanery, fiddles, scoundrels, charlatans ..
