A couple in Nonthaburi was left stunned after discovering their gold necklace, weighing two baht and purchased from a well-known mall, was fake. This revelation came a year after buying the jewellery when they attempted to clean it, only to find it peeling.

 

On 23rd February, at the Rattanathibet Police Station, 66-year-old Mr. Rungroj and his 54-year-old wife, Ms. La-ong, reported the issue to authorities. They recounted purchasing the necklace for 69,900 baht from a gold shop in a popular Rattanathibet shopping mall in late 2023, complete with a receipt issued in the usual manner.

Recently, Mr. Rungroj noticed the necklace had started to tarnish. Attempting to clean it with dishwashing liquid, he was shocked to find it peeling and revealing discoloured spots. Alarmed and dissatisfied, the couple sought police assistance with the receipt and necklace in hand.

 

However, law enforcement advised them to first contact the shop for clarification. The shop in question is currently based in a mall undergoing renovations, rendering immediate contact impossible and leaving the couple anxious and distressed. They are now calling for justice in this matter, reported Daily News.

I am not sure if they have any claim that long after purchase.

Someone could have swapped the real one for the fake.

Yep, the shop only has to say it's not theirs and then it's one against one..

The second you get the receipt in your hand the warranty expires.

A friend of mine suffered the same fate after a promo with a well known store. If you spent over a certain amount there. We are talking hundreds of thousands of baht, you got some gold. Did so, took it and stored it away. Until one day I asked to look at it. Fake.

Maybe staff swopped it or...
