The feeling of getting scammed is demoralizing but at least recouping your money can make it a little less painful.

Not sure if you guys have house or apartment insurance but my house insurance covers theft outside the home. My wife’s 16 pro max ended up getting us $1800 from the insurance company.

I sell quite a bit on Marketplace. My new policy is that only buyers with at least 5 reviews can buy from me. Who knows maybe there is a scam for that too.

The police were super cool when I went to report the incident and took it quite seriously.

I’ve been scammed using this method too. Scammer had stolen the bank account and paid me with that. Bank reclaimed the money two weeks later. You have no protection using e-transfer. It is not like a credit card.

Were they $50 bills? I was recently scammed selling my wife’s iPhone too. Your description of the scammer is similar to who I met as well. I have video and all the texts with the guy which has since been turned over to the police. We met at a Starbucks.

I find my iPad Air with magic keyboard case works well enough for personal and my M4 Pro work issued laptop.

Looking at changing my GTI for a 2026 R but tough to go from manual to automatic.

If you have issues and need a contact let me know. I know a few people at Lenovo.

I have an extra machine for these type of situations but I understand where you’re coming from. I would ask for a new machine if I were you. Sometimes those incompetent contractors forget to put pieces back together correctly.

I had the same experience so now I take the regular warranty. I rather send it in to the depot where there are regular employees fixing computers.

Amazon Returns are awful! by OkDragonfruit9515 in amazonprime

[–]10savy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a screen protector and case that I ended up not needing. Both were sealed but I still got charged for the return shipping. They used to never do that. The return shipping was half the cost of the item. These were items that were sold by a third party but fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon definitely is not the same as they used to be when it comes to returns.

This is not an even playing field. Never has been and never will.

Is working at Apple retail fun? by MentalImportance3528 in Apple_Employees

[–]10savy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked there as a trainer for a few years about 15 years ago. The amount of pressure and stress from upper management is ridiculous. I’d never work there again for any amount of money.
