Retailer gets punk’d

I’ve worked in retail so I know how shady some people can be when they try and return items, but I’ve never seen anything like this before. An Xbox 360 was returned one morning and the poor chump working was by himself and had no choice but to return the console because the thieving bastard had a receipt. He obviously didn’t inspect it well enough or else he would have found that the 360 was completely gutted and its insides were replaced with a copy of Medical Assisting. Wow.
So someone returned an xbox at our store…. [YouGamers]

Used to work for a major cell phone vendor.
We got back a return with another companies phone in the box.
We got one back with the boards from another vendor in our housing. Factory test wanted to know why it wouldn’t talk to the automated tester. The customer had removed the boards from some random cordless phone, broken them to make them fit in the housing, and put the housing back together. What they did with the correct boards, we never even had a good guess at.
Yes, in consumer electronics, the engineers actually do get involved in what’s coming back through returns. Even huge, impersonal companies care about why things come back.

Did he buy with credit? If they have the receipt, can’t they track him down through that?
