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?

More scams from my friends...A friend of mine run a genius scam for many years. He would go onto Ebay, search for faulty electrical equipment, and buy up faulty versions of DVD players etc. for rock bottom prices. Usually a few quid each. Then, he would go to a place like Comet or Currys and buy the very same item for real. The next phase of the scam was to switch the faulty one for the working one, and then return the dodgy one for a full refund. He then would sell the good one on Ebay, and turn a decent profit.
Now that's some top class scammage. He also would buy from me the receipts for any electrical equipment I'd purchase. He'd then steal a version and return it with my receipt for the cash refund.
