The Story
I was misled and scammed by Maryke. She sold me a chair and claimed it was “as good as brand new.” Before buying, I specifically asked if there were any faults, and she assured me there were none. But when I got home and sat on the chair, it immediately started sinking. No matter what I tried, the hydraulics failed every time I sat down—it just kept going down. Clearly, the chair was faulty. I reached out to Maryke and asked if I could return the chair and get a refund, since it wasn’t functioning as promised. She refused. She never disclosed the issue, even when directly asked. Her response was that the chair was in perfect condition. That was a lie. She misrepresented the product, refused to take responsibility, and denied a refund. This was a deliberate scam.
