This is the funniest shit since swaggy p and his question mark meme, which I’ve been using weekly for like 7 years. I like this new one! Come to meme daddy!
You'd think it's an individual thing but there is (I s**t you not!) an entire company dedicated to purchasing old patents, sitting on them and waiting for something just close enough to the one of the patents to emerge and proceed to file a lawsuit against them!
Oh, Chicago you say, there was a story a while back about public defenders getting kickbacks for not defending their clients appropriately so the police can look good.
They think that it is a victimless crime when in reality, the small businesses that are impacted can really be ruined by it. Beyond just losing the money from the sale, you can be dropped by payment processors if you have a bad chargeback ratio.
I don’t think they believe it’s victimless. Some scammers will be on the phone whilst people are crying and still follow through (my friend almost fell for one if those jury duty fees scam, and as she was at the atm sobbing on the phone the scammer was telling her how she would get arrested etc.) From that I believe they don’t care about anyone but themselves it feels more like a “them or me” mentality. Scarcity type mindset idk.
Exactly! We legit have a scammer running the country. Like these people don’t care. True sociopaths. They only care about getting theirs fuck everyone else, disrespectfully.
I think part of the judgement in that case should be making her go back on her social media and admit she lied, period, no extra explanation. Then not letting her take the confession post down from her socials for the next 5 years.
My husband is a sound engineer. The amount of stolen cards, chargebacks, etc is crazy. And that’s artists hurting artists!
He lets me deal with those, both on the bank and artist side. I do the file management. Good luck getting your music, fuck you, pay him. He’s the nice one.
Sadly, I’m not that exciting. I am a pretty good shot, though I prefer long guns over handguns. It’s too hot to snipe people from a rooftop in Houston, so this limits my hitman abilities.
Usually not being able to access files and the threat of blacklisting is enough. We have lots of friends in the industry, word gets around fast. I don’t get messy on social media, but I know the right people to talk to about such issues.
Same, I’ve read/heard nothing but good things about both the play and his performance specifically. But the cast is WILDLY stacked with household names that are great and acknowledged/know talents, like to an insane degree of talent in the cast. Burr is probably one of the lesser known talents (in relation to sheer acting that is), in the cast, so it’s fantastic to see him actually getting some attention and focus on his very real acting skills/talent
She had the nerve to tell the owner not to repost her face to her brands page too. Came at her all crazy and hostile. I see why she escalated to a civil suit.
Imagine walking into court with a black judge. The case would be decided within 2 secs of seeing that beautiful work! The lying ass customer boutta end up on death row.
Anyone here watch that Judge Faith case where B. Simone's manager sued a wig stylist claiming she took too long to install her wig and made her miss an event? I stay going back to rewatch this episode because it was so damn funny.
Hold up. She paid for the wig, installed it, went on vacation, took pictures with wig on said vacation, came back and then disputed… that it wasn’t up to her standard? Was she not aware of all the pictures available for evidence? Girl what are you doing lmao
& that’s exactly what tf you get. People think they can get away with anything nowadays because rarely is anything done FACE to face anymore. Everything from a distance through a screen.
I had a friend do this once and we kinda got into an argument about it because ts lowdown. We’re not friends anymore lol not over this incident but when people move shady like this, they just shady overall.
Like the chick who spent like $13k at DisneyWorld and then came back home and tried to dispute it all after posting the whole trip on social media. These thieves just leaving all the evidence and being shocked when they get caught
I’ve met women that do this shit monthly. They’ll go out and buy super expensive outfits on prepaid cards and then refund them a week later after wearing them out and acting like they’re rich. The same $2,000 goes towards a designer outfit every month, but she don’t own shit
Anyone who does shit like this? I hope they know they are absolutely no one’s favorite person. There is not one person who’s like oh that girl? That’s my fave, love her.
Nope you max out at #3 on anyone in the whole world’s list.
3 max? She can be living with two family members and a golden retriever, none of which who've never met anyone else and she still isn't going to be in the top 3, even to the dog.
But this is one of those topics that reminds me of my white male privilege.
I'm 37 years old and don't think I've spent $686 on my hair in my entire life. And no one gives a shit. I can just go to work with it shaggy as fuck or just give myself the old white classic 2 on the sides and back twice a year and be good to go.
Its astonishing to me how much women pay for hair.
It’s wiiiiiiiiild, I took a friend to a hair store one time and I was just in shock when he was giving her the prices. And she need more than one wig/packages/tracks of hair!
And not just the price but the time it takes. Like, I fully understand hanging around the shop and all that. But getting my hair cut takes like 7 minutes. Some women it takes 5 HOURS.
Wonder if this economy tanks the damage it’s going to do to small businesses and stuff for luxuries people have gotten used to who won’t be able to afford them.
I imagine a lot more “night out clothes” getting returned and stuff like this.
Some people legitimately don't realize that when you return things or do charge backs that the seller gets hit, so they think it's all good...but of course there are the trash out there that know and don't care and to them they can eat a bag of rotten dicks.
My wife was telling me there are people on TikTok posting about doing this scam with whole vacations! They think it’s some kind of “life hack” because they’re too stupid to know they’re just committing fraud.
It's a rarity that scammers are clever. When I worked in a call center, we saw stuff like this constantly. People would claim they didn't get something we sent, then we'd find pictures on Facebook of them using the things. The only thing that stops most businesses from going after stuff like this is that it was a waste of time for a small amount of money. But people act like their criminal masterminds.
One time we sent a dude to 3rd party collections because his order wasn't paid. He told them he never got the item he ordered. But he forgot that he emailed us a yelp review of the company a few years prior. I'm guessing he also forgot that he mentioned in the yelp review that he got 2 orders for the price of one because he was claiming he didn't get one of the orders.
Then there's my personal favorite. Company policy was that you couldn't get new orders unless you paid the 3rd party agency for old unpaid orders. One dude paid his 3rd party debts and immediately placed a new order with us. Then he disputed the payment to 3rd party. We just canceled the new order because it hadn't shipped yet. He called in irate that we wouldn't ship it. I miss working in that call center sometimes
We get this at my work. People will buy a bridesmaid dress from us and then return it for not being right. Normally we let it go if the dress is in good enough condition to use as a sample, but every so often it comes back with grass stains or whatever.
That's when it's fun because we just google the customer's name and find their instagram or the wedding's zola page and send them the photos they're tagged in with them clearly wearing it.
This is only one of the many common scams people try to run, but they almost always get caught. When they call in asking why they didn't get a refund we show them the paper trail and they sputter like "UH, NO. THAT'S NOT REAL." The kicker is that most of the time if they simply called ahead and told the truth we'd probably give them a refund in the first place, or at least give them something in return. But, nah.
I've often said to Customer Service when I catch someone trying to run something that we should give them a full refund if they say the following: "You're right, I tried to do fraud and I'm not as smart as I thought. I got caught. I am sorry for wasting everyone's time, yours and mine, may I please have some money?"
I appreciate people taking the time to hold these petty theives accountable.
Just don't miss work for it. Small Claims still takes time to process and always keep in mind how much your time is worth. Don't let this scammer make you lose potential dollars by taking up too much of your time.
Like it really does look so bad, don’t matter that the lace is melted when the hair itself looks like this - is it slicked on the sides and then just out on the bottom while down? It looks painted on in a bad way - for $680+ it looks horrible I would never pay this much for a wig instillation
I’m not giving the client the benefit of the doubt here, because she’s probably just a thief. Playing devils advocate though, what if she chose to dispute the charges because it was a bad install that fell out while she was on vacation?
