Cliff...
With the world wide net and the possibility of being ripped off...it soon becomes known that responsibility for honesty is the responsibility of all of us....
These rip off artists need to be identified and at best,blackballed..
As statement like....
"It is my humble opinion(This statement is important) that (Insert name here) from (place here) did not satisfactorly complete our contract...i.e that I sent (amount) for (x product) and have never recieved (x product)...
(You can't be sued for an opinion....)
A statement like this does a couple of things..
1. Gives others a heads up that this person may be a rip off artist...
2.Give a formentioned weasle an escape hole to come back with ..
....."I have been trying to contact you to let you know that your (product ) is now on the way...sorry for the delay but I was (insert excuse here) for (x amount of time)...
3.Lets the weasle know that every time he sticks his head out ,its in a hell of a pile of cross hairs....
I have been sending manuals around the world for my 10th year now and have never lost a manual or a payment ,although many a weasle has tryed to con me...
"Send me your bank account # and I'll transfer the money right away " is a favourite.
I got old too fast and smart too late ,but I just didn't fall off the turnip truck last night....
Hope you and the missus have a great new year..
May the bearings on your buggy never seize.....
