rip off

Rip off or rip-off may refer to:

• Ripoff, a term used for mischievous financial transactions, copies, imitations or plagiarism
• Rip-Off, an arcade game

Rip-Off is a vector shoot 'em up released in arcades by Cinematronics in 1980. It is the first shoot 'em up arcade game to feature cooperative gameplay and the first game to exhibit "flocking" behavior. Rip-Off was ported to the Vectrex home system in 1982.

A ripoff (or rip-off) is a bad financial transaction. Usually it refers to an incident in which a person is overcharged for something, or receives goods or services not of the standard expected for the price. A ripoff is usually distinguished from a scam in that a scam involves wrongdoing such as fraud; a ripoff may be considered excessive, but not illegal.
