Your main character, who scams people for a living, gets a taste of their own medicine.
Just Desserts.
“Yes, Mr Wiltson, you really have won a cruise!”
I pick at my Chinese takeaway as the old fool gives me all his details.

I have to destroy all my evidence but there’s a sudden pounding at the door.
“Police!”
I make my getaway from the window with only my emergency bag across my back.
