In The Beginning, there was Darkness

Dear Friends,I would like to bid everyone a warm welcome to my inaugural post @ CrusadeAgainsttheCon.

This blog is dedicated to everyone who has ever been ripped off while purchasing anything from anywhere, be it a dodgy fish from the wettest fishmarket, or a piece of codfish from the swankiest supermarket.

The main (but not sole) aim of this blog is to weed out the weevils who con the general public of their hard earned money. As the URL suggests, this blog crusades against these con-men. Who are these con-men you may ask at this point?Well these conmen comprise of traders/manufacturers who promise you that the item you are buying will perform its function up to a certain level.

So if you have ever been conned by the DVD seller promising that the DVD is "clear", or an insurance saleswoman who promised u coverage - but oh clearly omitted to tell you that certain things are exempted, or purchased goods online that never arrived/are faulty, or the fishmonger who told you the fish is fresh, or the Sony laptop u bought that promised 3-4 hours of battery life but only gave you a measly 1.5 hours, this is the blog for you.

I urge you to be detailed in your analysis, do attach maps of location of the con, the promises these pickpockets make and descriptions of the faults of the items etc.

So my fellow consumers, do join in my Crusade againts the Con, my Fight against the Fraud, my Movement against the Marauders, my Battle against the B@stards, my Riot against the Robbers. May every Trader/Thief Take heed and Think Twice.

"I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors"
