I Keep a Gratitude Journal

Got cheated buying masks. Last night finally got the refund.

Ordered and paid in early Feb. In his sales description he said he would refund if there s no stock. The cheater kept on saying excuses for not sending out the stocks, such as, his stocks got swapped with another poorer quality brand, and he was ordering another brand somewhere else and customers didn't need to pay extra for that, shipping was not started yet according to the record, bank account got frozen and he had paid some of the customers with all his cash available and will pay others when his account got opened again, then when his account re-opened, still need to wait for 4 more days to do the refund.

I contacted other customers, they got various versions of reply from the cheater. Some said the cheater told them there were masks delivered to him but he would it at 7 times more expensive than normal (we paid 2.5 times more already 2 months ago when the plague broke out in my city). The cheater actually borrowed our money to do business without letting us know, at no interest cost, to buy, and sell masks at much higher price. If we didn't ask him to refund, he would keep on delaying returning money to us. And finally when this plague is over and masks drop to normal price, he could send those cheaper masks to his customers by then.

Some of the customers reported the case to the police. All of us kept on messaging him to ask for refund. If you don't ask, the cheater would act like nothing.

I messaged him yesterday morning to remind him to refund, then in the evening again, then half an hour before midnight I kept asking him to refund before the day ended.

Finally I got my money back.

There are too many crooks taking advantage of a terrible situation. I have lost even more faith in the human race.

@Carissimi good and bad exist. And it s justice that maintains the order. If we do the right things, we will be ok.

That’s not true. I have always endeavored to do the right thing, but there is no justice. @Sssslm

@Carissimi I have learnt from life that justice need to be striven not waited for. If we do the right things then we have more grounds to defend ourselves in case we need to do so.

It is disgusting some people are getting advantage of this situation. The law should be enforced to them with no mercy at all.

@Cierzo I m already one of the rare ones to get back the money. There are many cases which the sellers got the money and fled. There was 1 seller, as far a I know from news, which got caught by the police. Law will not spare them, but they must get arrested 1st.
