点评:*River Sense on Historic River Street*
I am writing this review to warn the public and tourists about the predatory sales tactics, deceptive trade practices, and procedural consumer fraud occurring at River Sense (117 E River St, Savannah, GA). This business operates a bait-and-switch operation. Clerks solicit tourists on the sidewalk with promises of 'free face cream samples' solely to lure them inside. Once inside, consumers are subjected to intense psychological duress and financial coercion. The salesperson committed direct procedural fraud by taking physical control of my personal cell phone screen, fast-scrolling through my private applications, and pushing the final loan processing and authorization buttons himself through the Affirm platform to force through a total balance of $3,129.32 without my free consent. The merchant finalized this loan before disclosing any return terms or forcing a rushed signature on a liability waiver, which was executed under severe duress after the transaction had already been run. Furthermore, this business operates under an intentional network of shifting shell names to evade financial accountability. The storefront is branded as 'River Sense', the physical waiver lists the merchant as 'Mia Boutique / Ana Beauty LLC', and the official electronic Affirm receipt lists the merchant as 'Oak Beauty LLC VIP - Oak Beauty LLC Savannah'.Within hours of this forced transaction, my family physically returned to the storefront to leave the merchandise completely unopened, unaltered, and sealed in its original plastic wrapping, fully satisfying the 14-day unopened return window explicitly guaranteed on page 2 of the merchant's own contract. Store employees aggressively refused to process a terminal refund and threatened to call the police to force us off the premises. The unopened inventory was safely left on the merchant's counter, and time-stamped photo evidence was secured showing the store is in physical possession of the stock. Affirm's fraud prevention division has already reviewed this case, flagged the account for unauthorized activity, and successfully canceled the fraudulent loan balance to zero. Avoid this location at all costs.
翻译:*关于历史悠久的里弗街上的“River Sense”店*
我撰写此评论,旨在提醒广大民众及游客警惕“River Sense”店(地址:佐治亚州萨凡纳市东里弗街117号)所采用的诱骗式销售手段、欺诈性商业行为以及各种侵害消费者权益的违法操作。该商家采用“以诱饵吸引顾客、随后更换商品”的手段来欺骗消费者。店员们会在人行道上主动向游客招揽,许诺提供“免费面霜试用装”,其目的仅仅是为了把游客骗进店内。一旦顾客进入店内……消费者面临着巨大的心理压力与经济胁迫。该销售人员实施了直接的程序欺诈行为:他亲手操控我的手机屏幕,快速浏览我手机中的私人应用,随后在未经我同意的情况下,通过Affirm平台亲手点击了贷款处理及授权按钮,强制我承担了总计3,129.32美元的债务。该商家在并未说明任何退货条款的情况下便促成了这笔交易;甚至在交易完成后,还迫使顾客在责任豁免书上签字,而该签字行为显然是在极大的压力之下完成的。此外,这家企业故意使用多个空壳公司名义来规避财务责任。其店铺以“River Sense”为品牌名进行宣传,但在实际签署的责任豁免书上,商家名称则被标注为“Mia Boutique / Ana Beauty LLC”。官方电子版的Affirm收据上将商户记载为“Oak Beauty LLC VIP - Oak Beauty LLC Savannah”。在这笔强制交易发生数小时后,我的家人亲自返回该店铺,将商品原封不动地退还——商品从未被拆封、也未被改动,仍密封在最初的塑料包装中。这一做法完全符合该商户自身合同中第2页所明确规定的14天未拆封退货期限。商店员工坚决拒绝办理退款手续,甚至威胁要报警以将我们赶出店铺。那些未被拆封的商品原封不动地留在了商家的柜台上,我们还拍下了带有时间戳的照片作为证据,证明商店确实仍持有这些商品。Affirm的反欺诈部门已对此事进行了审查,认定该账户存在未经授权的操作,并成功将该笔欺诈性贷款金额归零。无论如何都要避开这个地点。
