They Stop Terrorists, Thwart Criminals, and Return Blenders
Customer: *on the phone* “My order number is ****.”
Me: “OK, I’ve got your order up on my screen. How can I help you, sir?”
Customer: “You shipped me this product, and I did not order it.”
Me: “Are you **** of **** Street?”
Customer: “Yes. I was on your website and I selected this product, and hit the ‘Submit Order’ button, but I didn’t order it.”
Me: “When you hit ‘Submit Order’ and get an order number, and an email confirming your order, that means you have submitted an order.”
Customer: “But I haven’t paid for this product, so I didn’t order it.”
Me: “That’s because you selected the ‘Bill Me Later’ option.”
Customer: “Fine. Then guess what I’m going to do? I’m going to keep this product, and I’m never going to pay you for it. Sucker.”
Me: “That’s your choice, sir, but if you don’t either return the product we sent you or pay by the due date, your account will be sent to a collection agency for recovery.”
Customer: “I am calling the FBI to report you.”
Me: “For what, sir?”
Customer: “I’m going to tell them that you sent me a product that I didn’t pay for, and they’re going to shut you crooks down.”
Me: “So you’re going to call the FBI, and tell them that you ordered a product from us, and now you’re refusing to pay for it OR send it back.”
Customer: “Don’t you twist my words. I’m calling the FBI on YOU, not ME.”
Me: “That’s your choice, sir, but wouldn’t it be easier to just send the product back if you don’t want it?”
Customer: “I do want it. I’m just not paying for it. You’ve wasted enough of my time. I’m hanging up now and calling the FBI.” *hangs up*
(I checked his account later and saw that the guy paid his bill in full before it was even due. I guess things didn’t pan out with the FBI.)
