Yesterday we had this really sorry excuse for a man. He was part of a new scam... or rather arrived after the scam. I can't really understand why he would show afterwards other than to gloat. He obviously had a pathetic sized ego.
When you open a business you're always prone to unscrupulous types. There's always a shoplifter or scam artist popping up somewhere. At the store we're no different and we try our best thwart these crooks. Of course the bad guys are trying their best too. So inevitably we'll fall prey to a new scheme. 2 days ago a couple of young mandarin speaking guys had just a scheme.
When we realized what had happened and worked out what they did we took steps not to let it happen again. On the off chance this was really a glitch we called the number that the scammers left with us. Weirdly they actually left their real phone number and they answered the phone. Amateurs!
Before I go on, I really must say I have zero expectations that we were going to get our money or goods back.
We asked them to come back to the store and correct the problem. The next day we had this totally different guy come in. This guy was a pompous ass, he said that he would pay for his friends but would deduct for his gas and his precious time. So he offered less than 20% of the value of the goods. He was indignant and was clear that he was trying to intimidate and humiliate my girls. This guy was offering to pay but he was never going to pay, he was just playing a game. He was gloating and was stroking his own ego.
One of the more ridiculous things out of his mouth was that the girl who called had threatened his friends with reporting them to the police. "S" who did make the call is a 5'10" glamazon. If you have met her you'd know she would never have to resort to threats to make a man do what she wants. She would simply ask and men would melt.
What a pathetic guy eh? Getting his kicks trying to humiliate a bunch of girls.
PS. Yes the pictures have been purposely blurred.
