OMBG... I just got a letter from GearBreast. "Thank you for your Money. The 4 LG HG2's that you paid for in November and we promised to ship by 12/6 are still back ordered. We would like to offer you 3 options.
1. Wait, sucker. And don't call us, we'll call you.
2. Choose another product. Now that the bait and switch promotion has ended, please choose a high priced item and we will invoice you for the difference.
3. Choose a refund, IN THE FORM OF A STORE CREDIT ONLY. Thank you for the use of your money, and letting us lock it in to our January Ridiculous After Christmas Markups For The Suckers Who Fell For The Bait And Switch.
I am NOT even kidding. I may have paraphrased a bit, but that is the essence of it.
My Response:
You have GOT to be kidding. Here is how I see your offer. (see above). This was to be a Christmas Present to my Father, Senator Lascivious Lebeau. I will just put your offer in a Christmas card, and place it under the tree for him and the Department of Justice to mull over after the Congressional Break. Or perhaps, we can entertain a counter offer?
Option 4. Yes, I think this is my favorite. In this option, you mail me FIVE LG HG2's, YESTERDAY. Fedex overnight. because it typically takes me several weeks to getting around to wrapping presents, and we don't want to keep Senator LeBeau waiting, do we?! And what I will do for YOU, for being SO honest and forthcoming about buckling under coercion, is to NOT notify the ECF, Reddit, VU, and multitude of OTHER (far lesser than ECF) forums of "American Suckers" that there is a STRONG potential here for a class action suit, DOJ inquiry, and subsequent ban on your doing business in the USA which of course would leave you as nothing more than fishbones for FastTech to pick over.
THANK you for your kind offer. I REALLY appreciate your considering Option 4, while you can. It is a 24 hour opportunity. Don't miss this great deal!
Sincerely,
Louis LeBeau.
