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?
Moral police need not opine.

This.
Id love to hear your explanation of how this is theivery. Look up the definition of theft.
If i get overcharged for a product/service and I dont catch it, is the service provider stealing from me? This happens all the time.
I did nothing other than look at my credit card statement and see a refund. Not my problem they cant keep their own books straight.

Fraud works, too.
by this definition there is an immense amout of fraud perpetrated on this website.
The usual response is that its up to the store to police any abuse.

He ordered an item , paid for it, got the item delivered how does he not rightfully own it. Once the transaction is accepted and completed its his TV.
OH OP they might try to charge you after the fact but you didnt authorise any new charges to card. So that would infact be theft by the retailer.

Theft is theft, fraud is fraud. This is part of the dawg eat dawg world we live in...just as much as it is up to him to catch their over charge mistake, it is up to them to catch theirs?

even better! We could include Burger King
Maybe telling the store would be the right thing to do buts about as far it goes. It would also be the right thing for AT&T to compensate me for all the time i waste on the phone with them trying to get my bill correct over the last 9 months. It would be nice if they packed my groceries properly and threw the crap out that was left in the carts. Oh it would be nice if Officedepot.com could at least once get my order correct and not have stuff missing or over charged.
