It must be 1989, I was running a departmental store, and suppliers used to come to me, sometimes for the known products and sometimes with a new one. One day a supplier came to me and said-------
I supply the washing soap 555 and a new product, which is like a Tinopal but used mostly in industries, we are manufacturing it our selves.
and he showed me samples of some yellow powder in plain polythene packets.
In the mean time a customer came and bought a few things and then he happened to see those pockets. He asked me whether I sold those packets, because in his factory they need bulk quantity of that and in case i had them, he would certainly prefer to take it from me.
I was so happy and smiling from ear to ear , thinking-see, i got such a good opportunity inbusiness, I will take order from him and supply from that.
Without thinking any more I asked the supplier to give me 200 packets of those, he had with him some around 100 , he left those there and asked for the payment. Now I always used to do the payments next week--that is a week credit, so I told him that. Then he said would i mind if instead of cash he take some products my shop. LOL, My happiness increased, as I got some more sale(ham to aur khush aur bikri ho rahi ha........ )
And notice that he started with--he supplies 555--a known brand-----but all this time neither he took the order for that nor I noticed that.That was his ploy for getting a good g=credential in my mind.
Now u will say then...........what happened..................hona kya tha, he dissappeared neverto show his face.:(
This is life my dear, which teaches you at every step. Now its upto u how u learn. Nothing happens without a reason.

Real con man, he is. Did the industrywala complain? Was the product he took, OK? People like these are lurking everywhere. Scary.
We all learn every day.
Sandhya: I have many such true incidents in my life, then later on we just keep thinking, but that time they made a fool of me:)
SG: Yeah..I learned a lot thru my work.
Ashwini C N: sometimes I feel its better not to trust anyone than trust everyone,but then I feel i am being negative..not good:)
yes one needs to be very careful
thanks for sharing true story
sure your story will help everyone
The other person who took the packets was he also a part of the fraud.
What about the man who asked for samples of that yellow powder? Is it possible that the supplier and the so-called customer were hand-in-hand?
Seems like we just cannot stay too alert nowadays. I hope you recovered and taught them a lesson.
sm: Thats the resaon I put it here..people should know the ways how they can be cheated.
Chitra: Yes they both were together in this..I nevr saw them again.
Sweetyshinde:They were in it together..I just got wiser, but nevr could teach them a lesson..In UP police harrasses more to the victims.
