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?

travel woesWhile travelling in the UK a Canadian friend stopped at a currency kiosk to get change for a hundred pound note. The guy behind the desk looked solemnly at him and said, "sorry, this note is fake. I can't give you change for it."
Having got his money from a bank, my friend demanded the note back and after some fuss about fake notes having to be reported to the police, etc, the clerk gave it up.
At a nearby bank, my friend confirmed what he suspected; nothing wrong with the money, just a clever scam.
…of course, he then spent his 100 on a tiny room in a B&B in London, so in the end he did get ripped off rather bad…
