Today I went for a second visit since May to a forex trading office which has been ignoring my emails, calls and chat messages for more than two months.
Last April 27th, they suddenly charged my credit card with more than 40K. On the same day, I received an invoice through email. The invoice was showing exactly 40K so they again had my account suffer for the forex rate difference. And the shocking part? It states that I still owe them around 250K. What!? How on earth did I owe that much? Then I remembered the upsell course of the forex workshop that I attended in November 2016. I initially deposited 10K as reservation of my slot for the upsell course but I backed out weeks before the course started. They have been calling me several times and I have been expressing my withdrawal on their every follow-up.
More than a year has passed and these people are suddenly charging me? Well, that's cool. It actually reminded me of recovering my initial deposit. But there is this additional 40K plus! I immediately replied to the email. I also called them on the same day but their line was always busy. I was able to speak to someone after few days and her only answer was that they will check my concern and get back to me as soon as possible. I made more follow-up emails and calls but to no avail until I went to their office last May 21st. That was when they reimbursed a portion of the 40K+.
Follow-ups for the remaining reimbursable amount then included chat messages but to no avail again up to today. Then I remember the saying that businesses will be very quick to collect but will painstakingly reimburse. That is very apparent in this case.
At least they said they will settle everything within this week. This week? Yay, that calls for a celebration! A cup of vanilla ice cream is only proper on this hot 30°C but feels like 36°C temperature. It is also proper while Steemit is not available and being fixed.
Steemit is back now. Cheers to that!
