Adverts on how to become a moped mugger pop up around London

These spoof job ads for moped muggers in London won’t tempt many people into thinking about a career change.

Posters that have gone up in the capital show that London’s response to the appalling crime wave is to mock the criminals in brilliantly British fashion.

They advertise a week-long intensive course that will apparently leave you a fully fledged moped mugger by its end.

Londoners spotted the ad and posted it on Reddit (Picture: Reddit)

It claims to teach people ‘how to spot people in phone trances’, ‘how to spot a fake Rolex’, and, more poignantly, ‘how to live with yourself’.

But there’s bad news for anyone warped enough to think this is a good idea – the phone number listed at the bottom of the ad Novocaine , which has a Birmingham area code, is a fake number.

And it’s not the only new poster in the capital that will prompt a double take from Londoners.

It features a photo of a particularly unthreatening group of youths, and lets passers-by know that ‘top class oregano’ and an intriguing ‘novocaine/Pro Plus mix’ are on the menu.

The artist behind the posters is Birmingham-based prankster Foka Wolf, who posted their creations on social media.

A third new poster located in the shadow of the London Eye describes the popular tourist attraction as a ‘white knuckle adventure’ and ‘the world’s slowest ferris wheel’.

It’s not the first time that Foka Wolf’s work has caused a stir.

The cheeky message told drivers they could be entitled to a free penis enlargement on the NHS, and used the same fake phone number.
