What is /biz/'s opinion on warranty exploitation/fraud?

I've run into some forums before where people discuss ways to lie to companies to get free products. Some of the ways are quite creative such as sending back boxes full of dry ice and damaging a box of a return (so that it supposedly passes weight tests but appears to have been stolen from on arrival), obtaining serials by taking photos of products in store, photoshopping receipts, etc.

Seems like people can make a lot of money like this in some cases and it's not really pursued as theft or even explicitly illegal since the company gives you the products... Was just wondering what /biz/ thought.

If you're actually going to spend time getting good at something, can't you think of something that would make you a lot more money than this?

Not really

it's fraud. if someone care enough. which if you steal enough, someone will.

>>2044478
Well yeah it's technically illegal but not in the same way as going to a store and stuffing your pockets or using stolen creditcards would be...?

You are right. Larceny is treated way worse than a single count of fraud. However, you will get multpile counts of fraud whereas you would only get grand theft larceny.

I think I mean more that it's not really going to get investigated and there's significant plausible deniability.

For Theft - Item is missing and unaccounted for.

For this it's more "Legitimate customer had issue with our product, he provided proof of purchase and we sent replacement"

At least that's my understanding.

hmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah you can probably make money off this buy you will be red flagged by places like amazon if you do it too often. I've done it to extend warranties on shit and get free replacements but that's about it.
