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?

This is a QotW answer Some blokes knocked on my door offering to do me a cheap drive
and like a dam' fule, I let them start.

Turns out they were 'travellers', ie mobile ripoff artists, and were planning to tip inferior tarmac about a quarter of an inch thick over my front garden.

I realised in time what was going on and sacked them off, after they had levelled the ground.

They couldn't do anything except threaten me, which I didn't mind as I had innocently taken photos of them (and their vehicles) and the police were on standby, rubbing their hands.

I faced them down, and they pissed off. Had no comeback so far.

Their boss's face was a picture. He said, 'But that means YOU'VE cheated ME!' which spoke volumes.

Juan 1, thieving travellers 0. Result.
