    This customer is committing fraud, they keep ordering items that have been priced lower by mistake.
    How is this fraud. You set a price then they're entitled to place an order!

    Oops, just read the rest of the thread and yes I think this is a wind-up.

    I've decided to pin it all on an angry employee. See below for my plan.









    I love how everybody thinks this is a wind up, I felt the same when I received that email accusing me of fraud. I thought this would be in interesting way to go about asking for advice.
  • I was right. Troll. Yay!
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    Not completely. I still received an email from the company accusing me of fraud and then telling me that they've passed my details onto their suppliers and competitors and then kindly informing me again (in capitals) that what I was doing was fraud.

    And we may have sympathised had you been up front from the off rather than play silly games. Good luck with getting any future advice on this forum.

    You can speak for yourself but I don't think you can speak on behalf of everyone else on this forum.

    You might not have sympathy now, but I do - especially as if OP had come on here saying they are thinking of going after compo from a company that illegally passed on their details and made false allegations of fraud people probably would have jumped all over them for being after compo.
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    I'm confused now, is vela claiming to have sent the email accusing fraud or to have received it? Or to have pretended they sent it when in fact they received it? Or is the story just incoherent?

    vela is allegedly the one accused of fraud, but in a wily twist of events, he pretended to be the company. What all the trollish "can i blame it on an employee" nonsense is, is anyone's guess. Trip trap trip trap

    Can I claim compo for wasting my time reading the thread.

    So why did you not come clean in the first place that you were the 1 accused of fraud ?

    I don't think people take kindly to these kinds of twists :)

    But as said, you've not committed fraud. Committing fraud would generally be using dishonest means to make benefit for yourself. The fraud act covering false representation; failing to disclose; and abuse of position.

    Don't get sucked in to playground antics.

    Their suppliers won't give hoot! They'll just think they are a bunch of morons unable to manage their business effectively. Would do more harm than good.
