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?

I inadvertently ripped off an Amazon sellerBought a DS game off Amazon Marketplace a few days after Christmas. Waited. Sent chasing email. Waited. Excuses/Lies. Waited. More of the same. Asked for refund. Was then given refund. Next day I received the game- effectively for nothing. No more has been said, and I'd rather not deal with them because they'd just lose the money. (This process lasted about a month.)
On a geekier note. I've been building a computer from individual components, and Dallas/Maxim do a free 'samples' thing on some of their parts, I suppose for companies developing prototypes. Thing is, it's wide open for people who only want a couple of parts each time. I've had ten chips out of them for nowt, the latest being half a meg of battery-backed RAM.
Edit: Also, my parents, who I live with, are BT customers (for phone but not internet) and British Gas customers (for central heating contract but not actual gas). BT used to regularly send us red bills but not the originals. British Gas, well when they are supposed to fix something they don't come at the right time and have minimal understanding of the actual problem. Arse, elbow.
