  • oh my stupid!!! scammer

    hi all,
    i'm new here, i've been reading the posts but this is the first time i've had something worthy.
    i'm a waitress at a buffet restaurant that specializes in chinese but we also serve canadian food, it's a pretty good job most of the time. i like my co-workers, and my boss (mostly) and, more often than not, my customers.
    today tho, i had a lady call in about 8pm, i was bored so i was happy to hear the phone ring. til she told me the problem. she said that she was in on the 14th of dec. with her daughter and that her credit card was charged twice. but she wouldn't give me her name. said she was uncomfortable with that. ummmm....it's your credit card! do you not think i'm going to need to see your statement???: rolleyes: you think your name is personal!!!! when i explained that i was definately going to need information to be of any assistance at all (and, because i've been reading the posts here, i was polite but very very clear!) she hung up!!! did she think i was going to leave an evelope with the money in it laying on the back step so she could grab it while no one was looking??? ya, cuz she said so!! i'll get right on it!!
    don't take life so seriously, you'll never get out alive!!

    Hiya and welcome

    Your request while clear was totally unreasonable, how dare you expect a scammer to produce documents to verify that something was in fact wrong, don't you know that the 'customer is always right'!!!!

    Oh wait I'm not a sucky customer and you were well within your rights to put a stop to that women's scam. Congrats you did well.
    Am I sad because I am looking forward to the day when the people I will be dealing with will no longer be able to talk back?

          I feel your pain. When I worked as a surveyer, it was possible for people to participate anonymously but for the sake of the statistics we needed at least a postal code, which made some people really paranoid.

          What am I meant to do to find you in your town, again? And what would I do, trace you down and beat you up for helping me? o_O

          We had the option to connect the customer to a supervisor if they were unsure of where we were calling from and to make sure it wasn't a scam, but seeing as a surveyer doesn't have any technical responsibilites outside of pressing buttons we had to make the supervisor call the customer and then dial them again to continue the survey, which more than often enough made those paranoid people even more insecure. <_<

                    In the context of being served at a Chinese buffet, it just means non-Chinese food. Like burgers, fries, etc.
