A man claims a 3 pixel refund and gets 10 pink replacements instead

All the customer wanted was a refund on a defective 3 pixel, but instead of money, Google would have sent them 10 additional handsets.

This is what Cheetoz, the user of Reddit, says about using Google to try to find a solution to the false navigation error. In a post on the social network, Cheetoz explained that he returned a faulty white handset for a refund of his $ 1,000 purchase price, but receiving only $ 80, to cover the sales tax, did -he declares.

His frustration was then compounded by the strange: instead of receiving the approximately $ 900 he was owed, he received 10 pink 3 pixels after placing a separate transaction for a non-pink single 3. , with the message: "Google, I have your phones, you have my money, let's fix that."

He admits that, financially, he stands out but says that he wants to do the right thing and make them. But not without getting the refund that he owed in return.

"If I do not get the proper support here, I'll try to send the 9 extra phones back via a $ 1,000 COD," he wrote in the thread, which had already been reported by the Android police. "If the shipment is refused, I will sell them to recover my money which has not been refunded.

"Again, it's not the right thing to do but I'm running out of patience and options."

Cheetoz's tactics could finally pay off. A Google representative from his Pixel Community contacted Cheetoz in his thread on Thursday "to get personal information from you so we can look into it for you."

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
