This is a question Ripped Off

A 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?

sodding egg bastards
I cancelled my credit card a year ago, but they didn't tell me that their card protection (which as far as I was concerned was just an extra they added on themselves) was actually provided by a different company. although the card was cancelled and I cancelled the direct debit from my current account, they still paid out the £29 premium for protection on a cancelled card.

well, when I found out what had happened I called the card protection people and cancelled. they've obviously had this before from egg so they credited the £29 back onto my account. here's the funny part - egg had told me that the balance of my account was £29, so when I got that back from the protection people a few days later I assumed that would be the end of it, but now I find that they've slapped a £16 charge on between telling me the balance and having it paid off.

so, a quick message to them in the strongest possible terms saying that this is their snafu and to clear it up has hopefully worked. makes me glad I know the word Ombudsman, cos that shits people up :)

stil, cute adverts...
