How to defraud Best Buy.

[Josh]

OK... back on august 19th I completed step one of "mission new ipod". I went to Best Buy complaining of battery problems on my 2nd gen 40 gig ipod.

No problem! I purchased the 4 year warrenty. So they cheerfuly took my busted ass shit and shipped it off to their repair faciulity to have the battery replaced.

A few weeks later UPS delivered it to my ghetto ass neighborhood and it was stolen off of my front step.

After three months of threatening visits, phone calls and whatnot they finally got UPS to replace my ipod. But heres the thing... there are no 40 gig 2nd gen ipods sitting around anymore so they replaced my old ipod with a 60 gig video ipod. I even got them to give me a fucking gift card for the difference between my original purchase price and the new ipod's price. My old ipod cost $500.

SNAP!

So. here you go:

step one: buy an expensive item from best buy with the replacement program.
step two: return it to the store complaining of "hardware problems".
step three: make sure the package is stolen when UPS delivers it.
step four: wait a few weeks and contact best buy.
step five: collect your reward.
step six: feel good about simultaneousely ripping off two large corporations.

You won. Remember that confessions on message boards are admissable in court!

My ipod was actually stolen. I swear on my family name.

I'm just pointing out how you can do this yourself if you're interested.

Best Buy can suck my ass.

The real moral is if you bitch at any large corporation enough about anything relatively small you will get what you want.

You want your Ipod back or can I keep it?

Once they make a different PSP or something, or a new bundle, I'm going to take a screwdriver to mine and claim accidental damage. They won't fucking replace it for legitimate reasons, but they're sure easy to swindle when you forge problems.

Let's all commit fraud! Hurray!
