Random information on the term “Rip-off”:

Rip-off Britain is an expression used by some to refer to the phenomenon in which some products and services cost significantly more in the United Kingdom than in other countries, especially member states of the European Union and the United States, than a basic currency conversion would permit.

In 1999, the Consumers’ Association hired a stand at the British International Motor Show, only revealing on press day its true purpose in doing so—to highlight high British car prices. The organizers of the show, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, decided not to fan the media flames by ejecting the Consumers’ Association.

By this point, the phrase had already taken hold in the mass media, and it became a term in frequent use to describe anything that was wrong with Britain.[citation needed] It also proved to be one of the elements leading to a tipping point in the harmonisation of car prices within the EU.[citation needed] The campaign was devised by UK advertising agency Claydon Heeley, who are known for such “guerrilla marketing” work.

Random information on the term “SCAM”:

Scam (released theatrically in the Philippines as Restless Heart) is a 1993 television film adaptation of crime drama novel by Craig Smith titled Ladystinger. It originally aired on Showtime in May 1993.

Maggie Rohrer (Lorraine Bracco) is a seductive con-artist scamming the rich in Miami Beach. When she picks the wrong mark, Jack Shanks (Christopher Walken), he blackmails her into working with him on the ultimate scam in Jamaica. He wants to use her talents in a much bigger scam: ripping off a crime lord by getting at his programmer’s computer files. But she starts to have doubts about what he’s really after when she finds a huge stash of loot with the disks. He claims no knowledge of the money, she distrusts him, he’s using her, things start getting dangerous and even murderous – and then her boyfriend shows up. When the scam turns deadly, murder and double-cross become the only way to finish their dangerous game.

John Flynn says he was offered the film by Showtime on the basis of his work for them on Nails (1992). The movie was shot in Jamaica. Flynn:
