- Indeed. These cunts ripped me off for a monitor, 200 quid worth. I must have
- spent a quarter of that in phone calls - it always took hours to get through,
- and when I finally managed someone was always "out to lunch". I ended up
- ranting to some dim witted fuckwit of a secretary whose excuses were as poor
- as her conversational skills.
-
- I was going to take them to court over this, but my lawyer stated that the
- costs of doing so could easily approach the amount I'd lost, with no
- guarantee of success. In the end, I'd heard that they'd been raided by
- the Fraud Squad and decided to write the whole thing down to experience.
-
- Apologies for the harsh language, but these people really pissed me off -
- nobody likes to be conned, and 200 pounds is a lot of money to a struggling
- student. It is especially bad when the money was a present from my Mum, who
- gave me it to buy a monitor in order to save my eyesight. I had a tough
- time explaining this to her...
-
- Bastards. I hope they get forced to pick up many bars of soap in prison.
- Although they'll no doubt worm their way out of it :-(
