On the way home from shopping, the citizen master zhang was attracted by a small stand on the side of the road “professional cleaning and repair of the gas and gas pumps and stoves”。
"there's been a problem with the gas stove at home these days, and it happened to be a repairer, so let the man fix it." he was so happy that he didn't think he'd fall into the trap of a liar that he had taken over a thousand dollars。
We're gonna have to fix the gas stove
Master zhang is 65 years old and lives in fengming dynasty, uiang district, xian city. Yesterday, when he told a reporter about the incident on the morning of november 26th, he was still on fire. “there are so many small stalls on the street that clean up the oil and smoke machine that i didn't know i had to take advantage of by accident.”
Master zhang's small stand is a simple stand made up of a “placard” made up of hardboards marked with the business that he could do。
"when i look at the sign and say, "let's check out the boy at my house, we'll pay for the repairs and fix them." when master zhang came to the house with the man who repaired the gas stoves, he checked and claimed that the stove valve was broken and needed to be repaired back to the factory。
“i'm going back to the factory, thinking it's a bit of a pain in the ass. The young man said that he could contact the factory's people for a service, and that a new valve would only cost 30 dollars, which was neither expensive nor self-plugged.”
While speaking, the young man had already called the “manufacturer” and left in haste。
It took a while for someone who called himself the manufacturer to come. After checking zhang's stove, he said, "i'll send your stove back to the factory for about 20 days to a month to fix it. If you can't cook, you can use the new stove that our company has provided you, and i'll change it back."
After paying for it, i found out that the cat was tired
Such a “good thing” for master zhang could not believe it. Before he could doubt it, he said, “the company has a deposit of $3,000, so you can use the new stove for the time being.”
As soon as we had to pay, master zhang was alert, saying that there was not much cash in the family. “they invoiced me and showed me the gas stoves they brought me, and said there was a bill and a new gas stove at my disposal, and it would be fine, and i gave them all the $1090 in the house.”
After the other party left, master zhang took a closer look at the bill and suddenly he discovered that the number on the face was not correct。
"i paid a total of $1090, but it says $990 on the face. I was standing by the window yelling at the young man, and then i chased him down the stairs, but when i got down, he was gone.”
At that time, he had not realized that he had met a liar and thought he had been given the wrong ticket. Coincidentally, on his way home from the entrance to the district, he saw a young man in his hand with a card entitled “professional cleaning and repair of the smoker, gas stove”。
“when i saw him, i wanted to come up and ask him if he knew the man before, and i didn't know i called him, and he ran off with the cards, and i realized that i should have been deceived. As a matter of fact, as soon as we got to the neighborhood property, we found out that the man who claimed to be the factory had left my gas stove in a dump near the road.”
He subsequently called the police in anger, but there has been no progress。
Yesterday, at his home, master zhang showed the reporters the bills they had given him and the gas stove they left behind. “they left their contact number on the front, but only 10 digits, which used to be an empty number, and it is assumed that the stamp on it, which is also a fake, leaves behind the foreword of the note in the gas stove, which i suspect is a fake, hypocritical product, which i fear will not be used.”
Master zhang told the journalists that he had not heard of a similar scheme before and wished to remind them, through his experience, of the need to be careful not to give the fraud a chance。
