Who do you call when you’ve been scammed by your local drug dealer?

The cops apparently.

It’s not the obvious choice but it was the one taken by an angry customer in Northern Ireland who was dealt sugar after trying to buy cocaine.

Craigavon Police took to Facebook to detail how the unusual call played out.

The scorned customer called police after they had “been scammed” out of a hefty sum, saying they “paid over £200 (AUD$365) and got brown sugar instead”.

“Instead of what?” the police officer inquired.

“Cocaine,” the caller responded. Of course they did.

“Bizarrely, they didn't want to provide a statement,” police said in a Facebook post. “Weird that.”

“We've said it before and we'll say it again - drug dealers care about nothing other than lining their own pockets.

“Granted, it's not exactly the sort of slick wheeling and dealing business savvy that would see you go the distance on The Apprentice, but it shouldn't surprise anyone that drug dealers are scammers!”
