Got a refund on a product I didnt return. what to do?

396 25 January 11, 2012 at 07:16 AM
Ill keep this short. I purchased a rather expensive product recently. I had some problems with my order but the vendor worked everything out and I have the product installed in my home.

I checked my email this morning and I have an email from them saying that they received my return and are processing a refund. I looked at my credit card statement and the refund has already processed.

I didnt return the product but I got a refund. So basically I got a free product. Im wondering what is the worst thing that could happen with this? Can they come back a month from now and say they've caught the mistake and charge me again? Confused

Yes, the worst is they say oops, and take the money back. But, maybe somebody somewhere offered this as compensation for the troubles? Dontknow Don't ask, don't tell. Secret

Excluding the morality (which is subjective) part of it...I'd say ignorance is bliss.

If they want your money back they will contact you. I'm sure you've spent hours and hours dealing with the issue and calling them to take your money after you've already given it to them is not something you want to do..

That morality is a pesky thing. I'm glad we don't use it any more.

If they overcharged you or sent you an inferior product how likely would they be to contact you ?
