Delivery Guy Tried to Scam me?

[Troy Tempest]

Dear All,

 

I recently ordered something from Lazada and the delivery guy arrived on a motorbike and delivered the package having called me previously.

 

I already had the exact amount ready and paid him for the package on arrival and he went away.

 

The price was 1,224 Thb.

 

However, about 1 hour later I got a call from a lady  saying that I had only given the guy 224 Thb.

 

I was adamant that I had paid the full amount and then suddenly I heard her talking to the delivery guy who was still saying I had only paid 224 Thb.

 

He then came on the phone saying he was coming back for the "Extra" 1,000Thb.

 

I went ballistic and told them to <deleted> Right Off!

 

He said he was still going to come to get the money at which point I had to threaten him and closed the call!

 

He never showed up....Surprise, surprise!

 

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar occurrence?

Post edited to remove names.We do not permit naming/shaming it's defamatory and dangerous to do so.

 

7. You will not post defamatory or libelous comments. Defamation is the issuance of a statement about another person or business which causes that person or business to suffer harm or loss. A statement does not have to be false to be defamatory. Libel is when the defamatory statement is published either as a drawing, picture, painting, motion picture, film, or letters made visible by any means or by broadcasting, dissemination or propagation by any other means. Defamation is both a civil and criminal charge in Thailand and elsewhere in ASEAN.

It seems to me most delivery guys wouldn't be able to find any other jobs. They are just too stupid.

So, don't expect too much from them.
