Blink's Hoppus: I Was McFrauded!

Posted Aug 11th 2008 4:45PM by TMZ Staff

What if you could get your fast food fix without having to talk to a pesky human being? Sounds kinda awesome, huh?

Former Blink-182 frontman Mark Hoppus, super-sized golf legend Phil Mickelson, and as many as a hundred others thought so, too -- but after investing a ton of $$$, they're definitely not lovin' the idea now.

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A., Hoppus alleges that a "company" called Missicom took him for millions, supposedly to install self-service cashier terminals in McDonald's joints in Cali.

The company turned out to be as faux as the McRib -- and no terminals ever materialized. Mark now wants $2 mil in damages.

Missicom couldn't be reached for comment.

3. No need to do a backround check when investing millions. A fool and his money have no business getting together in the first place.

4. This is will be appropriate payback as long as they don't get a dime. These rich assh*les were trying to make MORE money by investing in machines that would screw people out of the minimum wage jobs that many unfortunate people have to rely on to
live. Not very punk rock...

9. my guess is that he's just disappointed that +44 isn't making as much as blink did...or else he's finally realising how dumb he was to sell the cash-cow that is atticus, and is pissed that delonge is getting all the money.

10. Even though Big Mac Hal wasn't perfected, he was able to utter to Mark, "Blink, I 8 your 2 mil."
