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?

MOT 'REPLACEMENT TYRE'I once had an Astra as a company car which turned 3 years old and had to have an MOT. Dropped it off at the dealership and went back to work.
Later, i got a phone call saying that everything was ok, but the spare tyre was bald and they could replace it for about £30 (can't remember exactly, as quite a few years ago). Told them not to bother.
Went round to the dealer and in front of about a dozen customers asked for the service manager who had phoned me. When he arrived i VERY loudly asked if he could show me whereabouts on the tyre THAT HAD NEVER BEEN USED it was bald, why he tried to charge me for a job they would not actually do, and had he heard of the Trading Standards Authority.
Never seen someone go that red before without their head exploding.
Our company never used that dealership again, so they lost thousands for the sake of about £30.
