I personally SE to have stuff I normally can't afford, but am trying to get into selling stuff I get online

To manipulate the target Into performing an action that they're not supposed to do.

That's the true meaning of social engineering In every aspect.

Lol exactly! Was just about to make a new post asking opinions if all these package return tricks were actually SE, or just taking advantage of the automated systems big companies implement because it's sometimes cheaper to not fight it.

A combination of all the above.

Why would u pay if there is a way to get it free? and abusing system actually funny to me isnt it?

I buy a lot of things that are not new. Sometimes after buying an item that isn’t new you end up needing a replacement part. Many stores won’t make replacement parts available (for sale) without a proof of purchase receipt.

I would prefer to not add to the endless waste and repair items that can be repaired.

Until you get caught.

Speaking for all SEers, the message Is loud and clear - SE wisely, and don't allow greed to Impair your judgement.

I SE to feel something like an adrenaline rush when doing something that is considered "wrong" by most people. Life gets kinda boring without SE.

I know what you mean.

Nowadays, I don't feel any rush but when I first started SEing around 35 years ago, the thrill of succeeding was with me for quite a while.

i just wanna know why certain people do it.

for example :

i do it because i simply cannot afford to splash out 1.3k on an iphone and 400 on new clothes but i know some people SE to make money and others just cause they can ?

To make money, I am comfortable without refunding but it is nice to have an extra £1000 every so often
