What they did

They returned a car seat. A few days later Meta Muse told him, without being asked, that the refund came back $70 short because of a restocking fee they never knew about. It gave him Amazon's phone number and a script with the order number. One call later, Amazon credited the $70.

How it went

Short refunds caught, with a ready call script to get the money back.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post. Some restocking fees are allowed by the store's policy, so a call won't always work.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Watch my email for return and refund confirmations. For every return, compare the refund amount with what I paid. If it's short, for example a restocking fee, tell me, find the store's support number, and write me a short call script with my order number explaining why I should get the full amount back.

In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
