An update for those who have been following the saga of me being scammed on the first Chinese excavator I ordered. I’m delighted to say that I’ve now been refunded in full. <\/p>\n
It’s been a huge, time-consuming effort as behind the scenes I’ve been pressurising the Chinese supplier, my bank (Cr\u00e9dit Agricole), the supplier’s bank (JP Morgan in Luxembourg), and the Chinese embassy in London in my efforts to apply pressure from as many directions as possible. <\/p>\n
I don’t know whether it’s been as a result of those efforts but I’m pleased to say that both of the sums I paid for the excavator (the initial deposit and the final balance) have now been repaid into my Cr\u00e9dit Agricole bank account.<\/p>\n
So that’s good enough for me. I incurred some expenses in arriving at this result but I’m relieved and prepared to write those off to experience and now I can look forward to the second excavator I ordered a couple of weeks ago arriving, early in the new year I think, and getting on with the work I have planned around the house.<\/p>\n
I have to say that a considerable weight has now been lifted off my shoulders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
