Vacuum Scam at Big Box Retailers Original Message Jun 2, 2009 8:46 am
It has come to my attention that several of the big box retailers in my area have discovered a new vacuum scam perpetrated by some deceitful customers. The buyers are purchasing high end vacuums, new in the boxes, and then returning for full refunds. Why? They claim when the vacuums are returned that several attachments, usually 2 or 3, are missing from the cartons. Rather than obtain the missing attachments from the retailers/companies, these buyers opt to get full refunds on the purchases. One customer has perpetrated this scam 3 times at the same big box store location in the last several months. Wonder what the persons are doing with the "slickied" attachments?
