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?

British Gasb*stards.
In a flat on the Commercial Road in the east end. Told that I owed £1300 for a quarter. Phone them. Ahem, does this sound right to you? There's an enormous shop below us that pretty much shares the same address. I think it must be for them.
"Listen sir, we get a lot of calls like this and I can tell you now that 98% of the time the customer's wrong.' Jaw drops.
How do you explain it then?
"Well sir, our charges over a quarter are only ever estimations. Clearly someone's actually read your meter and made up the difference of what you've actually used."
£1300??????
Threat of bailiffs, court orders, the whole thing for three months, 20 phone calls to 20 different hapless phone-monkeys until I get a letter saying they 'read the wrong meter'. No sorry. No nothing. Screw you.
Beware.
