F rating means he has a history of ripping people off. Take him to court
-
How can a business owner be so dumb as to not understand that he will lose way more business than the measly $2000 he scammed from her????? He's done.

I accidentally walked into one of the Elements store and I was lucky to be able to leave without a purchase. I told them I was gonna call the police if they continued to stand between me and the door. I called Better Business Bureau on them. They finally closed down in my city!
-
The fact that he refunded all but $1756.83 tells you that's over a 300% markup on this crap. They'll teach you a system of ripping off their customers to be sure.

Anyone who invites you into a store from the sidewalk just run.
-
They need to take away her debit card and replace it with a credit card that gives her more protection.

I once worked for a financial car loan company and someone financed 3 cars in one day. It was later determined he suffered from bipolar and the company did the right thing and tore up the contract.
-
the fact the place gives out "loans" for their products explains it all
-
This is an "upscale" version of the people that harass you from their mall kiosk, with their garbage skin and hand creams.
-
Don't we have elder abuse laws that cover this?
-
How outrageously evil. This business owner is a thief and needs to be charged with theft then banned from owning any business ever again.
-
Unbelievably wrong on every level. Over $1700 as a restocking fee! This is highway robbery.
-
$1.7k for the "restocking fee" and do not want the products back? In other words, the product didn't cost $7k in the first place!!
-
Everyone should boycott this business. Restocking fee of $1,700? This predator, Zeev Goldin knew exactly what he was doing and took advantage of this poor woman due to her challenges. Goldin should be investigated and thrown in jail.

I know this place! I was just passing by one day and was very aggressively pulled inside. I was given a sample of cream to make me look younger and a very HARD sell to purchase. Thankfully, I got out of there with my wits and money intact. But now, you better believe, I walk a block out of my way to avoid passing this place. Pathetic business!
-
Someone should provide this guy a closed door visit.
-
Wow...he just destroyed himself by doing this. What a horrible person!
-
He knew what he was doing. Shame on him and anyone who abuses the elderly
-
Just fully refund your customer, ffs. She didn't even used or opened the products.

I've been literally dragged into this place by a woman a while back while walking in front of it, they put stuff on my face, and I was basically bullied for not wanting to buy anything and trying to get the fuck out of the store. At no point did I even want to enter it. A few days ago I made the careless mistake of walking in front of it again, a sample was pushed onto me, and "cmere cmere cmon come in come on" while I was walking away. I had to speedwalk away from it. It's a horrible feeling. I normally cross the street just to avoid it.
