Ripped OffA friend who worked in a second hand record shop told us about a Japanese guy who regularly bought "rare" records in their shop. One time, he was looking for a signed copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks".
They didn't have one. Four people and one magic marker later, they did. Ker-ching!
How have you been ripped off? Who did you rip off? Are you a British Gas customer?

Two...As usual..
First was me..
I wasn't really ripped, but I went to Kos a couple of years ago. Excellent place. Bought a stunning Nike belt (which was a good belt), bought it back home and found out Nike don't make belts. While in Kos, I went for a day out in Turkey. Bought a couple of dodgy VCDs. One was Road Trip (crap copy of a crap movie) and the other was Scream 4.. Yes, I know, Scream 4 has never been released. I actually knew it at the time, just thought it was funny.
Another, serious one, happened to a friend. Against my advice, he went (and dragged me) in to one of these "auctions" where they sell "top make" goods and give you them in black bags.
He, again, against my advice, bid on a "Pentax" SLR camera. So, he won the bid. Paid over his £50. Well, he paid £35, I had to lend him the other £15, and the auctioneer bagged up his purchase.
When we got outside, we opened the bag, and found the cheapest, nastiest camera I have ever seen. Not worth anywhere near a tenner, let alone £50.
