GreekClothing.com and reputation

[aak4937]

I didn't say I was going to make one, if you read my post I said "I am not great at creating websites or anything but I think someone should create some sort of website warning others about greekclothing.com."

Obviously I am not creating a website. Nor am I promoting, said non-existent website...

I am not trying to decide who gets to be in business, but its not really a business as much as a scam if they are taking orders, taking money, and then not sending orders.

I am sorry, but I don't see how you have much room to talk. You are 30 years old and spend most of your time on a Greek Chat forum. Posting an average of 3.5 posts a day for the last 9 years. Sounds like you are the one without much of a life.

God forbid I post 10 posts about a HORRIBLE company on a thread that was started about how horrible the company is. I am not going around starting numerous threads about them and how much they suck. I haven't started any threads about them period. If I was spamming about them don't you think I would have done something to that effect?

Anyway, I am going back to my life now. Since this seems to be your life I guess I don't have anywhere to tell you to go.

Yup, I'm 30, spend all my time on a message board and I am STILL fabulous! Ask about me.

By the way, you want me to just paypal you the two hundred bucks so you can stop crying about it?

This isn't necessarily about me getting my money back, but also all of the other people who lost money to them as well.

I am assuming besides the time you spend on here, you spend some time at work as well. I don't know what your job is now, or how much money you had when you were in college...but I know that as a college student I am trying to help pay for college, rent, groceries, books, etc, while working at an internship, trying to make a little money by working part time, and worrying about my parents who are both not working.

My dad is retired, and my mom has a vision disability that prevents her from working. We moved 3 years ago after my dad retired and our old house has been on the market for close to 4 years without selling, therefore my parents are trying to pay two mortgages, as well as help put me, their 7th child (5th to go to college), through college. My dad is in his late 60's and has been trying to find a job for the past few months because things are starting to get harder on our family. Unfortunately, many people do not want to hire someone who is almost 70 years old, so he is having a hard time finding employment. I am not by any means saying there are not people worse off financially than myself, but I am saying that $200 dollars which may not be a lot to some people, is a lot of money to me.

Anyway, my point here is, yes you got over it. Maybe I should get over it too, but every time I see a story of someone else getting ripped off again by them, I can't help but get upset again. When I got ripped off I felt confused and hurt and until I found this thread I felt alone. Once I started noticing others were in the same situation as myself, I realized this was not just a one time occurrence, and I felt like something needed to be done about it.

While you are 30 years old and have many experiences in life and I'm sure with different Greek clothing companies, I am only 20 and am new to the Greek community and am still learning and maturing. Maybe I am not handling this situation in quite the way you would have and maybe I am holding a grudge that you would have let go by this point. Maybe I am young and naive, and don't want to believe that companies can get away with taking advantage of so many people, and maybe I feel like somehow I can help others in my situation while also helping myself and preventing others from getting ripped off, which I guess is not the case.

My intentions are not to "spam" the thread about how much I hate greekclothing.com, I just wanted to share my experience with others and see if there is anything that can be done about this situation.

Senusret, I wasn't trying to judge or be offensive about your age or how often you post on the forum, I was just getting defensive because I guess I felt almost attacked by you, so I apologize.

Apology accepted.
