Business Sells Customer Fake Textbook, Business Gets Launched From Orbit

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that we've encountered a story where a business tried to pull some shady BS on a customer, and we're sure that it won't be the last time. In this case, Reddit user u/AbortRetryImplode shared a winding story on the subreddit r/ProRevenge about how poor grades on a Ph.D. program assignment based around APA citation writing led them to realize the textbook they had purchased was actually counterfeit. This person took their investigation to a new level, tracking down the book seller's personal information and took the time to report them for selling counterfeit books on publishing platforms and even to the FBI. They found out later on that the seller was forced to stop selling books.

Good on the customer for taking matters into their own hands and basically nuking the business from orbit. To make matters better, they even received a grade raise for proving they didn't do the assignment wrong, the textbook was wrong. Yo love to see it. Keep the revenge drama going with this revenge story about a girl who got her nemesis kicked out of the pub in the pettiest of revenges.
