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?

Bought a nice laptop from Currysfor my degree work.
After a couple of months the screen started flickering so one Friday I took it back and was told to ring early next week.
I rang on the Monday but nobody knew anything about it. Alarmed, I drove down there and demanded to know what was going on.
Turns out that instead of sending it off as agreed, the wankers had just left it open on a work surface 'to observe the fault'. They then swore that it had not gone wrong in that time and so was not eligible for repair under guarantee.
I was furious. I went home, rang the manufacturers, and had the laptop collected by courier and returned 5 days later with a new screen, all free under guarantee.
I wonder what they were really doing with it?
