A young man is furious! He took a Pi Xiu with a free gift and threw it in front of a gold shop in protest after the shop confirmed that if there is no evidence, they cannot buy it back. This victim traveled from Phra Ram 4 area and threw gold bought from the gold shop “Mae Tak-Pa Beer”, a famous influencer and online seller, at the entrance of the shop because she was not satisfied with the shop’s condition that the buyback must have a receipt. She revealed that her mother ordered the Pi Xiu and gold online in 2021 to give to her children and grandchildren, thinking that it was gold jewelry that could be sold for a profit. However, when she took it to sell, the price was lower than the market price, so she could not bring herself to sell it. Then she saw the news that the shop would buy it back, but her mother did not keep the evidence or receipt because she was not skilled in online work. When she called to ask, the shop confirmed that if there was no evidence, the shop could not buy it back, even though e verything was in perfect condition and had never been taken out of the box. She felt inferior, so her mother ordered her to throw it away. In anger, she brought the items to throw in front of this shop. Another victim said that she wanted the shop owner to come out and apologize and take responsibility by refunding everyone. She personally bought the gold for 39,000 baht but was able to sell it back for 10,000 baht. The atmosphere at the "Mae Tak" gold shop on Hathai Rat Road yesterday (25 September) was the second day of accepting gold buybacks. It turned out that since the shop opened at 10:00 AM, customers who previously bought gold from the shop have traveled from all over the country to bring gold to sell back. The shop has set up a canvas tent in front of the shop for customers to sit and wait in line. After the first day of gold return service, customers rushed to sell gold until the queue exceeded 200. The shop will increase the queue to 300 per day, allowing 10 people to enter at a time. Reporter s reported that the results of the gold testing from Mae Tak's shop after sending it for testing to verify the percentage of gold yesterday (25 Sept.) showed that the beads in the Pi Xiu bracelet contained 71.58 percent gold, which is considered gold but not 18K. As for the Pi Xiu, which the shop claimed was 99.99 percent gold, the results came out to be 99.83 percent. As for the 50-satang necklace, the test results showed a gold content of 92.08 percent, which is below the 92.5 percent set by the Consumer Protection Board. As for the gold sheet, the results showed that there was no gold content at all. However, from the gold inspection results of Mae Tak's shop, it was found that it was real gold, but the size and weight of the gold did not meet the standards set by law. We still have to wait for the results of the gold sample inspection that the Consumer Protection Board went to collect for inspection. It is expected that the results will be known soon. In addition to gold, a victim complained to reporte rs that she had bought cocoa from Mae Tak, who was live-selling during the New Year. At that time, there was a New Year cocoa promotion. Mae Tak gave away gold in every box for 582 baht. She believed it and bought it, but found that the gold she received was a small gold sheet, similar to what is currently an issue. She therefore thought that she had been scammed as well. Source: Thai News Agency
