Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned

How many times has this scenario played out here? Someone purchases product X, and tries it in their system. They report positive results, that it works as advertised, that they got their money’s worth, that they are happy with the purchase. Then someone, usually having zero experience with the product, replies with something like: “No, you’ve got it all wrong! You’re being ripped off! You’re being conned!


Does anyone else understand how ridiculous and absurd these kinds of assertions are?! The consumer who actually put up their own money and took the time to evaluate the product in their own home/system reports it works as advertised, they are happy with it, that they got their money’s worth. Then someone else claims they were ripped off?!


Imagine an agency investigating consumer fraud getting a complaint like this: “My neighbor is being ripped off!” “No, no, he thinks it’s great, does everything he expected it to. He’s very happy with it, but I just know he’s being conned!” Do you seriously think they’re going to open any kind of investigation into it?


You can disagree with what someone says about the effectiveness of a product all you want, but to say they have been defrauded, when they report the exact opposite, is patently ridiculous.

I pretty much agree with Tommy. I do not like somebody else telling me whether or not I actually like something, and if I like something they don't, or vice-versa, they'll say I'm being 'scammed'. Fortunately, almost nobody ever says that to me! 😀

You all would be surprised (or maybe not) at the rude, ignorant messages I've received regarding my post above from a certain member on here.

Flat-earthers gonna flat, I guess.

Pretty pathetic, actually.

I once defended Geoff and his Clever Little Clock in another thread and I am gonna do it one more time. I bought one in 2008. Before I ordered one I talked with Geoff over the phone and I thought he was a nice gentleman. And the clock worked for me. It is still on the audio shelf of mine. It is not going anywhere. I am not telling anyone to get one. Heck, when I was young I seldom listened to mom. I am telling you it worked for me and telling those specific people to leave him alone. Another time, I bought some stuff from him and it turned out I didn’t like its effect on my system. He took it back without any trouble and gave me refund immediately. I like to deal with someone like him. Good day!

@samuel03 I like Geoff and miss him on the forum. Hope he's well. However this article is out there. Maybe he's a genius and knows things we don't. Or not.
