How a real estate agent was scammed $30,000 by a child
Have you ever known a pervert who spends more money on shoes than on rent, food, or education? Surprisingly, the victim in this story, a real estate agent, is one of them. In case you needed more reason to laugh at their pain.
So a real estate agent (we’ll call him Hugh Janus) wanted to buy a rare pair of Dior X Air Jordan sneakers for themselves. Its price is estimated to be over AU$10,000, which is a totally reasonable amount of money to spend on a shoe that costs over AU$10,000. Crisis of life. Yes, they are real estate agents so they are judging more harshly.
These shoes were so rare that they were sold in a lottery with just one per customer, but Janus missed out on it.
Luckily for Janusz, the student came to his rescue, claiming he had a “system with some international colleagues” and could get the shoes at a steep discount. Ta.
So Janus did what any reasonable adult would do and paid the student $3.8 million for the Dior X Air Jordan kicks.
But just the same, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Janus didn’t stop there. Janus wanted more, so he bought more:
- Three additional pairs of Dior
- The Bred Air Jordan 1 costs $2,690.
- Chicago Air Jordan 1 available for $2,690
- The Royal Air Jordan 1 costs $2,690.
There are a lot of really rare sneakers, with a total value of AU$33,370.
By the way, these are the same people who say you shouldn’t buy avocado toast if you can’t afford to pay rent.
But when the shoes arrived, Janus noticed a problem.
It didn’t look like it was worth a few thousand dollars. And I didn’t mean, as most people would have immediately thought, that the shoes were fake.
Janus accused the 18-year-old student of selling “defective” shoes that were “inauthentic” and counterfeit.
The student’s father then intervened and took the shoes to a sneaker appraiser, who confirmed that the shoes were fake.
However, the father disputed the authenticity of the authentication device. I now modestly hate everyone in this story. — when they claimed the student “was a scammer and a scammer who was blacklisted by many stores.”
Janusz’s father later offered him $10,000 in compensation, but Janusz refused and instead took the student to court.
All of these disputes were heard in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), which had to decide who was deserving of repayment as the victim of fraud.
After hearing the yada yada exchange on many shoes, VCAT members katherine metcalf Janus says Janus is not entitled to a refund from anyone due to the fact that the student was under 18 years of age at the time the transaction was made and a minor is “not fully capable of entering into a contract.” Certified.
“Had the agreement been entered into when the student was 18 years old, the outcome may have been different,” Mr Metcalf said.
Ironically, these laws are usually created to protect minors from adults, but in this case it was not the minor who needed protection, but rather the fact that he chose to do business. It was the people,” she noted.
I’m not going to lie, that student seems like a complete fraud.
We wish him all the best in his future endeavors in the real estate industry.
