Scammed buying a PC off Facebook - What do I do?
Hey all,
Yesterday I purchased a gaming computer from Facebook Marketplace. The guy seemed kind of fishy as he wanted me to pay in cash and meet outside his noodle shop.
He said everything was working fine but it turns out the PC crashes when you try to play any games and always boots up into repair mode! The wifi also doesn’t work either.
I told him the issues and he said that it’s because I’ve done something to it when I was setting it up and installing games.
However I’ve left it untouched and have not reset anything.
And to the wifi problem, he just said to use an Ethernet cable and not use wifi!
He refuses to refund me and I’m not sure what to do. I understand I should have seen the red flags, and he keeps asking me random questions like my age. Does anyone know if I can do anything here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Government targeted relief
My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.
Cost of petrol
Can someone explain why we are paying higher prices for petrol seemingly for stock we already held before it became more expensive to buy? If we are supposedly holding approx 50 days of reserve fuel I must assume that we are still using current stock .
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
