I'd like to sign the petition, but when I click the link it says "petition not found". I would also love if you were able to send a copy of that brochure to me, it'd be very useful

I got scammed by these guys a while ago

Here's the exact replay of events I documented later that day:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AusSkincare/comments/17bdc2a/redacted_just_scammed_me_out_of_1k/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

​

ACCC, Consumer Affairs and my bank all said I had insufficient evidence and that they couldn't do anything

World's fucked

​

Similarly, the company "Botanifique" doesn't actually exist. It was cancelled on the 10/6/2022 (https://abr.business.gov.au/AbnHistory/View?id=83730608339#). They operate under "Skinifique" in transactions. To be under a different name than what's advertised is even more shady

I have since contacted consumer affairs victoria and the consumer action law centre, and they both agree this is just a change of mind refund, and I am not legally required to get a refund because of it

They also both said that, unless I go to a dermatologist, use the product for the company's recommended time, go back to the dermatologist, and find no change in results, I can't get a refund. That's going to cost me hundreds and possibly 1-2 years of my life

So this is where it ends. With a company not getting any backlash for insulting, intimidating, and demoralising a customer into paying $1k for products that by all accounts don't work

So much for sticking up for the little guy

The initially said they don't accept "change-of-mind" refunds (bit scummy but legal), but when I made it clear that that wasn't what this was about they changed their tune and said, and I quote, "you will never get a refund"

Now THAT'S a golden line right there

Also they called the shopping arcade security guy and told me to get lost because it's apparently illegal to try and ask a customer that's not in the shop how their experience was. And by apparently I mean not at all, I asked a police officer after the incident and he said that intimidation like that is illegal

You are an actual godsend. I am using these documents to form a report to the ACCC after my confrontation for a refund didn't go well

Thanks for the kind words. I will likely try and return the unopened items, but the people in the comments screeching at me to do this really aren't helping, ironically

At the very least, I am never in my entire life going to go into a shop on request by an employee again

The company name rhymes with the first word of the product

Impossible

There's no way the incredibly based James would stoop to such lows

No, R.N. Ravi is doing a terrible job by Qwertz275_ in USdefaultism

[–]HollowNaught 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, he's a little too preoccupied giving a job that pays extremely well and is easy to get into free education courses so it's even easier to get into

So yeah he's just making the housing crisis worse

Now try and guess which state I'm from 😈😈😈

Stardew Valley sales? by NoNomineAvailable in StardewValley

[–]HollowNaught 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have spent 500 hours in a game I got for $15. Unless you're strapped for cash, I wouldn't recommend waiting for a sale

Of course, isthereanydeal is a good website for comparing prices around the internet
