r/Maliciouscompliance I Made a Scammer Lose $50,000 

*1st Story:* $750 for the wasted trip? Whatever happened to the $1000 deposit?

First story- I'm pretty sure OP could have sued for breach of contract and either forced them to get him a car or pay a lot more than $750. Maybe both

"Would you screw over Jesus?" Is what I ask that pastor.

First story: A contract was signed, a $1000 deposit was made, yet there's no legal recourse? That makes no sense. OP literally never even mentions the deposit again. They're concerned about the $750 expenses, but not the $1000 deposit? Also, OP has enough money to buy a brand new car every 3-4 years, but they don't have a lawyer to turn to in this situation? This is a very unbelievable situation...

Hourly employees are paid for their time, not their productivity. Companies need to be careful about this.

Anyone watching the eclipse today, KEEP YOUR GLASSES ON, and have a fun time watching this astronomical event

Story 2 sounds crazy to me. I'm in Finland, so my country is part of the EU like Germany. In our legislation it's considered that a business does not have "honor" like a person, so a business can't be an object of defamation like people. So anyone's free to leave bad reviews of businesses as they like, without any possibility of legal trouble.

EM and Kids: Well, EM basically said that OP's mom could handle the little gremlins in any way, so what did she expect? Maybe she should start being a better parent

I’m German and I’ve seen the posting about the church on Reddit and answered my suspicions there already. My suspicion is, that that priest pocketed the 2nd half for himself. Like, he not just scammed OP but also the church. Why do I suspect that? Well, even though I’m non religious now, I was actually raised catholic. If you register yourself as member of one of the recognised religions in Germany you pay “church tax“. Meaning a part of your pay cheque goes automatically to your church. Obviously churches therefore have an administration. Now if there are things like repairs and such, you bring the receipts there and it’s (as far as I remember) either fully or mostly paid by taxes. In other words churches are NOT private institutions like in the US. So my suspicion is, that the priest paid op half, but gave the full bill as receipt and pocketed the difference. And OP’s original review stating that he wasn’t paid could have gotten him in hot water. Now he just can’t do the same to others anymore, hence the pissed phone call.

Story 3: Wow, this guy really threw out decent employees just so he could have his inexperienced buddies working with him. That's an easy way to kill a business, if he's going to hire his buddies at least make sure they know what they're doing

"How dare you teach me how to be a parent!" Well someone has to.

The last story reminded me of my mom when she yelled 'Ya cállate!' to a brat screaming at a store she was in. She legitimately thought it was me because I was with her but it wasn't! That brat immediately went silent and cried. His mother was glaring at my mom and when my mom realized that she yelled at a strangers child she gave her a look that said 'control your damn kid'.

OP: "I was the IT guy" Oh, boy, someone is about to mess with the IT guy! **grabs popcorn**

I have noticed that there are a number of RU-vid channels created by car experts or dealers/mechanics. They often devote entire postings on lying dealers with fake ads and sneaky contracts. Chrysler Jeep Dodge seems to be at the top but many other brands are also included. They describe much of what OP went through. Everyone needs to keep posting the bad reviews but also send e mails to the manufacturer telling them you will never buy their brand again. This can cost a dealer his franchise with too many complaints.

Anyone who winds up saying, "How dare you try to teach me how to parent?" is already in a position where they need to be taught how to parent. I wish every country treated parenting like France, where it is expected for strangers to chastise misbehaving children just as much as it is expected for their actual parents to do so. "It takes a village," and all that.

First story, why are there people buying cars every 4 years? Do they like burning their money or do they buy unreliable cars or it is that they drive so much their car just falls apart? Cars are expensive. I dont understand.

So honest question about the first story: can't the 5 star reviews be taken down or the dealer get into huge trouble for what's effectively bribery?

Story 3: when will people ever learn: never, ever, EVER screw with the IT guy!

"How dare you teach me how to be a parent!" Well, in order for it be "teaching", you'd have to "learn". And let's be real here, someone like that is NOT going to learn.

Story 1: Honestly - i don't really think it helped in any way shape or form. The dealership is still there, doing their nefarious shit, stil scamming people. So those 50k came back easily.

The first story. Too bad OP didnt mention what the car dealership was. Could get some more people leave more bad reviews.

Remind me never to move to Germany. If you can be sued for bad reviews, that has to be the worst consumer protection practice ever.

The last one: Mom was probibly looking for everyone to stare at her kids while she five finger discount a few items.

How often do l make jokes about chemistry? Periodically.

Second story: how did the contractors asking their money upfront cost the church thousands? Surely they weren't planning on stiffing all of them out of their payment as well, right? 🤔

Dabney your irony quote "A church screwing over a carpenter" was epic!

I love that the clergyman tried to say "you're hindering God's work." No, just hindering the devil pretending to be God who's clearly influenced you into becoming a scammer.

... Heh. that first story gives me an idea. There's a FYE store near where I live, they sign you up for their *paid* loyalty membership without telling you it's a paid monthly membership, and then they make it a NIGHTMARE to cancel. This company has been sued for this before and they're still doing it. I also work from home so I have a lot of time on my hands. ..... >:)

"father, I don't see why you feel the need to NAIL me down here, perhaps you will let me have a last supper with my 12 closest friends before you wish to drag me into a public court."

How would lipstick testers work in post covid era? How old is that last story?

The last story: That entitled mother totally got what she asked for. I will never understand people who squirt out kids but don't teach them boundaries, that the word no is a complete sentence or any sense of accountability. Make no mistake, that lazy entitled mom wasn't upset that someone essentially did what she was unwilling to do. She was mad that someone horned in on her territory and her ego was bruised. You ever notice how every entitled parent out there treats their kids like property rather than their blood or the being that they created and should love? That's what I've noticed. I've also noticed that entitled parents seriously expect everyone around them to cater to them just solely because they decided to make the life decision of having children. Life does not work that way!

Should’ve claimed ALL expenses including the original fight and anything with the contract deposit, lost wages etc

I got blown away when the first story had OP saying they buy a new car every 2-3 years. WTF kinda money are they making.

I leave tons of 1 star reviews for dealerships 😂 whenever I go on Craigslist or Marketplace looking for a specific car, lets lay a 2000 Corvette, and they tag all other Chevys so you see Tahoes, Sonic, Cavaliers, I go find the dealership and leave a 1 star telling them to stop spamming the piss out of these sights, usually I become a rather popular review lol

I worked fulltime/salaried at one place. About a year after I left, they wanted to hire me on as a consultant just for a day or two. Yeh, no worries. I was to swap some cards in a server, ie, bring it down, disassemble, swap, reassemble, bring it back up again. I wanted to do it lunchtime (would take maybe an hour), but they were insisting to do it "after hours". Kfine. I show up on the appointed day a little before 5, figure I can wait off-the-clock for at least a little while. No one's making any moves to log off, etc. 15min later, nothing, 30min later, still nothing, so I go to the bosses (2) and ask them what's going on, when is everyone getting off so I can start the swap? _"Oh, Joe usually stays until 7, and Mike maybe until 8, but he's busy, so might be staying up until 9 or so."_ What?!? I ask if they're serious, ie, why tell me to show up at 5 when I won't be started until 9, and not finished until 10?? No answer. So I just shrug and say, okay, it's on your dime... _"Uhhh, what?"_ I then pointed out that we had a deal for pay by-the-hour. They had me come in at 5. If I have to put in 4hrs just sitting around and waiting, I'm *STILL* on-the-clock, and that's time they *STILL* have to pay me for. They went around telling everyone to get off and go get something to eat or whatever, and in just minutes I was able to start. Funny how that works...

2nd OP only cost the church thousands because of the intent to rip-off other tradesmen.

as far as I am concerned... Since they already signed documents, this is vehicle theft against the OP in story 1. As far as the church thieves story goes, as soon as you have a document proving they threatened you in any way, that's proof enough to everyone else that the church, not you, screwed up. All I had to say was, "my prior boss made me sign an NDA under duress after I did not appreciate their response to my (traumatic loss of a child's life), so I can't tell you how badly their response to my situation impacted my mental health. If I say anything more, it could risk my career, safety, and legal standing." and literally everyone hates them now lol. A mental health wellness center should never be putting employees in a situation where the employee has to sign an NDA because the boss responded poorly to a personal crisis. They lost the $20k/month in pure profits I made them, and several of my clients. I heard they're considering shutting down one of their business locations now (they were already stretched too thin, and hemorrhaging employees, so noone was putting in the work to keep things running).

OP1 is an idiot for not suing for the total value of the car and his deposit

We really need to start cracking down on the nepotism in the workplace tbh to get things back to how jobs should function. Someone with 10 years of experience in retail, with a college degree in business shouldn't lose applying for a manager position of a store, just cause frank applies with 2 years cashier experience at an unrelated store, but is close buds with district manager.

I had a similar bait and switch story, except it was for something under $1000, and I only had to drive an hour. But I was still furious after driving an hour only to be told we don’t have that but we have some other good options. I even asked on the phone- you are positive you have it? Because I am going to drive an hour. Yup, come on down they said

How the hell much was OP making in the 3rd story as their normal salary to merit a $200k severance package?

First story Op should have absolutely sued for the deposite *and* the car. + attourney fees.

The Eclipse is today! Edit: ? instead of !

Last story: Can't tell you how to do something you're doing zero of. 0x0=0. I'm not telling you how to parent, just TO parent!

5:40 this isnt malicious compliance, this is systematic pro revenge

A little extra context for anyone who doesn't know, I'm pretty sure Joseph of Nazareth, husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a carpenter and Jesus himself would likely have been taught carpentry himself as a child. So yes, it is extra ironic that a church would screw over a carpenter

as an ICT Specialist and havgin done this for amny of my cutomers it costs between 1-2K to get rid of a bad google review. this process is done through the courts where the company with the bad review uses a company that deals with google and these reviews are treated like slander, and since most ppople dont show up to defend their bad review in court they get taken down in 99% of the cases.. so ontop of that 50k they would have spend double that removing the bad google reviews.. the price i have is from 2023 so might be a little less depending on when the story happened.

i really hate malicious compliance. organizations and people should really start cracking down on it. its disgusting, its immature, and its not at all anything a remotely intelligent person should be doing.

Buying a car every 3-4 years sounds insane. It's not a PC that gets outdated quickly. A car should last you at least a decade. That OP is either crazy or rich or both.

That is not German law - not even close. just for example being paid in cash: it would have been on the church to proof they paid in cash, because if they did they would have received an invoice confirming their payment.

Church screwing over a carpenter? Not ironic at all. Joseph the carpenter took responsibility of a child that wasn't his.

Ouch! A church screwing over a carpenter - 🤦🏿‍♂️ Daaamn.

1st story: RSlash you sweet sweet summer child. These scammers probably just raised the price by 50 of everything, and then offered 50 off for 5 stars.

The first story is, uhm… fishy to say the least

Story #1: I had a similar situation. The dealer refused to show me the vehicle that I had planned on buying. They were sure I would just get some other car priced thousands of dollars more. They called me for weeks.

What does Jesus say about stealing?

Good morning everyone :D

rSlash, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

7:53 That does not go in line with the teachings from Deuteronomy, Stating against Idle Hands. All Good Works Get Rewards as Stewardship

Wow, the guy that left a bad review is lucky. I left a bad review for a company that jerked me over and since some of the communication was verbal and he held the security footage and could trash it, I could only prove part of it. He threatened to take me to court. I posted a new one with the things I could prove after I contacted them back and gave them another chance to remedy the situation and they ghosted me. Ironic, since that's basically what they did the whole time they had my computer, but suddenly had the time to call an hour after they got a yelp review.

Now screenshot their offer to pay for 5-star reviews and share with Google. Offering compensation for positive reviews can result in hefty fines as it violates Googles terms and conditions.

Hi, auto dealer here, op handled his situation poorly. Bait and switch is an illegal practice in, I believe, every state. Even still, breach of contract IS. If pursued in court, which could have been done without a lawyer and in his home state, he would most likely have gotten the deposit, travel, hotel, food, all tripled then interest at ~9% for the time they DIDNT pay the judgment

Story 3: What is with dumba** bosses screwing over an experienced employee and then screwing themselves over financially? God, some people are just not fit to be a boss.

A church being shady? No way. That's never happened. 😂

Story 2: wow…using God’s name to basically line your own pockets. Makes me cry tears of bloody despair. I mean it’s not a new thing but still leaves me astoundingly depressed

EM story: Where's Count Spankulot (Codename Kids Next Door) when ya need him?

story #1 - I did that... I flew 2 states away... except my sale was legit

Why would Bait and Switch OP believe the company would actually pay for the fake reviews?

i think the story at 8:25 mightve been told before on this channel, it sounds really familiar

Guys, the most painful thing abt this is that the podcast has 4 ads stacked on top of each other before the stories actually start 💀

1st story...I'd bet just about anything that the car OP wanted to buy wasn't just no longer available...it never was to begin with..classic bait 'n switch. Illegal in most places.

8:08 I mean, that’s basically what how it went in the Bible

So the first one is a lawsuit for breach of contract, no?

8:08 for those who dont understand the irony Jesus’ father (not God but His other father on earth) was a carpenter, and back in those days the son almost always took up the father’s trade. Meaning that Jesus learnt how to be a carpenter and was a, carpenter.

Want me to put in overtime when there's literally nothing to do? Watch me write stories.

Everyone watching the eclipse today, have fun and stay safe.

I love how you say “how dare you!”.

Story #2: Yeah.. Sadly that's true. That's why you don't use an account that's tracable to YOU when you leave a review in Germany! The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" applies to reviews also. And if you can't proove, that they did, what you say in the review it's considered slender. But for heavens sake! It makes me sick to see, that in Germany, that's allegedly a secular state the (cath.) still has too much influence in the government. It makes me sick, thinking about that, in Germany, ONLY the catholic church is allowed to punish their priests for crimes as they see fit! It's some medieval law that allows the church to deal with (e.g. Ch1ld m0l3st3rs) as THEY see fit and the government can't or won't do anything about it! It's just sick, when you know, that they can hurt kids and get away with it because of an medieval law!

did first story's OP also get his deposit back? I know many businesses like to pull the old "non-refundable deposit" BS

The first story remember me of the groups "La venganza del Sat" X'D

First story seems a little unbelievable

Crotch Goblin controller: OP your mom is a OG!

First op still got scammed out of his $1000 deposit he should've just sued

story 1 is fishy. op has enough money to purchase a new car every 3-4 years, but not enough for a lawyer? op is concerned about 750$ on the wasted trip, but not the 1k deposit? if op signed a contract, then why did they not contact a lawyer for the breach of contract? would have been an easy win. seems far too fake.

A selfish lying member of the clergy? I am SHONKED lol.

Pretty sure rslash has read last story before

How can the church lose thousands of euros, if they only pay upfront?

Who tf buys new cars that often???

Was the last story at a sephora?

Hello to all of you lovely people, that love yo listen to strangers misery :3

Story 1: op is an idiot for buying a new car anyways

Am I the only one who sees Doctor Mike logo on the bottom right edge of the video, instead of the RSlash? 😂

New car every 2 to 3 years signed a contract but has no legal recourse? I smell bullish/t

to add to the german story, not common at all that u get sued for reviews, just possible

I hope that everyone is having a good Monday!

why is someone in this comment section complaining about stargazers?

Makes me sick about the church

I know a better way to spend $50,000.

Who buys a new car every 3 to 4 years in cares about money in that case
