"I am old, and the salesperson strongly recommended it at that time. I saved money when my brain was hot. " Aunt Wang said that the other party only provided a "quality guarantee" and did not give her an invoice. However, due to the hasty transaction at that time, she didn't think too much.
No invoice
Distinguish between true and false
Aunt Wang took the necklace home and felt a little light and yellow. The more she thinks about it, the more wrong she is. She took the necklace to consult a number of gold shops and asked for verification, all of which were rejected on the grounds that there was no shopping invoice. She went to trading places again, but the other party refused to return the goods, and sent her away with "the invoice will be taken later".
Aunt Wang said that the rings and necklaces she sent were all "49 gold" handed down from home, that is, "ten thousand gold" with a purity of about 99.99%. If the necklace exchanged is fake, or the other party adulterates it, she may face huge losses.
Aunt Wang then repeatedly called the rights hotline, industry and commerce, taxation and other departments, and got such a response-there is nothing they can do without formal invoices. Moreover, there is only one necklace and a "guarantee" without legal basis, and the public security department cannot file a case for handling.
Consumer reminder
Remember to ask for the receipt.
In the afternoon, the reporter called the store where Aunt Wang traded. The staff who answered the phone sent the reporter away on the grounds that the boss was absent, and said that the gold jewelry would not be returned without quality problems. The reporter also learned from Lao Fengxiang and Yayijindian that it is necessary to provide invoices and personal certificates to detect the authenticity of gold. At that time, when Aunt Wang exchanged the gold necklace, the merchant only gave a "quality guarantee", without the name of the drawer and the official seal of the unit, which had no legal effect.
The reporter then called the Huangpu District Taxation Bureau and found that the store that traded with Aunt Wang had no household registration information and no industrial and commercial registration number. It may be suspected of illegal private operation, so it is impossible to issue a formal invoice. The staff of the tax department said that they have sent special managers to investigate and collect evidence, and if they are suspected of violating the rules, they will deal with them.
Aunt Wang hopes that through her own experience, she can remind the general public, especially elderly friends, to buy valuables such as gold jewelry in formal channels and formal places, and at the same time, she must ask for and keep the invoices, otherwise it will be easy for merchants to take advantage of the loopholes, resulting in nowhere to go for rights protection.
