New to SE, where should I start?

Smile Cow · 07-15-2014, 02:27 PM

Hello, this is the one subject on this site that I have almost no experience in. I was able to get a replacement for an airsoft gun that I said broke (but it didn't), other than that, I'm a newbie. I was wondering if anyone had a good place for me, or anyone, to start. The whole idea of SE intrigues me.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I didn't see any help section and I'm still getting to know this forum.

Start with Amazon, order something from amazon then claim it didn't come, get a refund etc...

Some key tips

1. Call them / get them to call you rather than IM or email
2. choose a low price item (under $2,000 / £1,500)
3. Practice what you're going to say...i.e. the item says it's delivered but I never received it
4. If they say to you that they'll issue a replacement, say that's not good enough because it was meant to be a gift for someone today & that you're going to have to go out and pay more for it from a store (unless you want two of the item)
5. Stay calm

Under $2,000 eh? I was thinking more like $5-$30 range lol..

@Cressi can help you out. She's the best Social Engineer this forum has and will ever see.

Don't start by getting off free stuff from companies.
Learn to lie, complain and disguise yourself on the internet.
Once that is done precisely, you are on your way to master SE'ing.

Start with a Sol Republic SE. Easiest one I've ever done (twice). PM me and I can help you out (give you pictures of the headphones, etc).

Would you be able to help me? I'm somewhat new to SE'ing items, and I would like somewhere to start off easy.

Yeah, I can totally help you. Hit me up in a PM with your Skype.

Well, thank you ^.^

OP, there are several companies to try out. A classic starting point is usually any P&G brand, or an e-Cig company called Njoy(.com). Something else you might want to try is pizza/fast food chains; which are usually incredibly simple.
Also, e-Whoring is good for quick and easy money ^^
