Reply to: Think I've been ripped off - what do do?

[Freaki Li Cuatre]

It came on Monday! I couldn't tell you all because I'd been banned, for some reason.

But would you believe it - they emailed me a tracking no. and it showed that the package had been sat in his local post office for 10 days before it was picked up. The reason the seller didn't get back to me was that there had been some family crisis apparently.

And there was I making death threats

Cojak: Please take note. The company name I used in my spoof bomb threat is fictitious; I wouldn't have dreamed of using their real name so I was a little bit surprised by the infraction.

I think FLC was ripped off. A seven day ban! He should ask for his money back....

I think I'd link a brown forum - where all the sh1te threads are put.

Done: CUK Tulip Forum

I think I would like a Golden Brown forum - where all the threads about the stranglers can be kept

[BrilloPad]

I've suggested to Admin before a "Gold Forum" where the best threads are closed off and put in there for easy viewing

Aw man, I always miss the really good threads until it's too late.

I'd be more worried about the Computer Misuse Act 1990

Shirley, one should be more worried about Cojak?

[Bunk]

That'll be against your ISP?s Ts'n'Cs, no doubt.

They have a tuppenny ha'penny website & I reckon it wouldn't take much to put one together & get above them in the rankings as it's a very niche area. The home page will just simply state something along the lines of don't touch ACME boiler co. with a bargepole because blah blah blah.... & tell everyone one what a bunch of rip off merchants they are.

Careful about libel etc.

On a similar topic - is it easy to flame a website? I'm quite tempted to write a little utility to bring their website crashing down somehow.

I hear that you can buy a DDoS quite cheaply, but you'll first need to persuade some real criminals that you aren't an undercover journalist or cop.

I think your apology will fall on deaf ears EO.

He's been binned....

[Gittins Gal]

I honestly thought it was a joke post
sorry freaky.


it reminded me of that scene in one of the carry on films (or the up pompeii one)
where the prisoner is starving and he get some bread and water

a brick opens in the wall and a voice says, 'pss your bread through, we have gravy in here'
so the prisoner licks his lips and passes the bread through


then the brick closes in the wall

The mind absolutely boggles.

How senile or retarded is the OP if he/she/it doesn't even know how to seek commercial redress from a supplier?

hmmm... inneresting

I would assume that the onus is on the sender and if that person was stupid enough not to send the item recorded/special delivery then they will carry the can regardless of whether you are telling the truth about receiving the goods or not.

Balance of probabilities I guess.
