Too Good To Be True(Poem)

When my heart gets involved

Feels like love

Damn

Too Good To Be True

My emotions are there

Feels like this can work

Damn

Too Good To Be True

Being too interested

Felt like it was mutual

Damn

Too Good To Be True

Thinking it was different this time

Felt a little lucky

Looking stuck

Feel like so much confusion

Damn

Is it really

Too Good To Be True

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

If you buy things on #AliExpress, you are going to get scammed every so often. Their buyer protection program is pretty decent, although it can be a bit of a pain to go through the process.

You can increase your chances of getting scammed by buying things where the #deals are too good to be true. When the deals are ludicrously, impossibly good, your chances increase to 100%.

This can be fun. I have bought a few things over the years that were obviously #scams. Once, I spent a few hundred dollars for two tablets that, if they had been real, were selling for about one tenth of what they should have. Seeing how they faked them being new products, when they were actually recycled ancient low-end tablets, was fascinating.

But I generally won't do that. Instead, I buy cheap stuff, trading a few dollars for the fun of seeing what the seller/manufacturer have done. I don't even try to get my money back on these.

So I recently bought a #USB #charger that I've been seeing for months. It's described as a 240W total output, gallium-nitride, USB-PD and QC-3.0 compatible, five-port charger. The genuine article from a reputable manufacturer, if it exists, must cost over CDN $100. This one was ... five bucks.

So I knew it was going to be interesting. It arrived today. It weighed more than expected, but all at one end. The case appears to be ultrasonically welded, so getting it open is destructive.

I e-mailed this morning politely asking for an update. No reply. So I decided to take action through Clearpay. Very soon after that, they replied and apologised, said they will be shipped tomorrow, next day, or I can cancel the order.

I should cancel shouldn’t I?

@atecon bei Heise war eine ähnliche Kritik im Forum, wenn auch weniger detailliert. Endet alles beim #hashtag #toogoodtobetrue

Kein Druck, keine besonderen Temperaturen, relativ leicht herzustellen. #toogoodtobetrue

Sounds too good to be true
Much hype and talk for the deal
Comically exaggerated

#GoodMorning #Hello, is this thing on #HowAreYou?
You're just scrolling around seeing who's up? Or do we have a hashtag convention for, #LetTheBellsRingOut I know it's #TooGoodToBeTrue, but I'm here. But, I'm kinda not here.

Right in the middle of an email, my internet went down, just after 4am, that's my *productive* time online, when you youngsters are still sleeping #HoHoHo

This is my Real phone, the tiny pocket size one, waiting for a call from Tech Support. I'll be back, I hope, later
