sigh Everything is a conspiracy to the Consumerist isn't it?
- wmeredith 17y agoI had the same thought. I think they're confusing crappy package design (incompetence) with malice.
- nailer 17y agoReally? I think they're saying the cheap design itself is doing the 'tricking', not Verizon or Moto. Which seems fairly accurate.
- KWD 17y agoInstead of 'tricks' they should have used 'causes' or 'results in', or some other phrase that does not imply a negative intention in the design. It's just bad design.
- scott_s 17y agoI assumed they were being facetious.
- potatolicious 17y agoI doubt it - Consumerist is very good at manufacturing outrage, even for minor, accidental transgressions. They're also very good at playing the oppressed consumer card.
- robk 17y agoExactly the reason I stopped reading the Consumerist. It's frustrating to see things that are usually careless mistakes misconstrued as big EvilCorp's plot to screw {all consumers, all taxpayers, the world}.
- bmalicoat 17y agoAs bad as The Consumerist is, they did teach me what the phrase 'executive customer care' meant. Which has saved me on a few occasions. I wish they'd stick to helping people get just compensation rather than these type of posts.
- dbreunig 17y agoI stopped reading it too. So much handwringing. I fail to see a scenario where Moto aims to 'trick' their customers. What paranoia.
