Watch out for BET-BET Kazimierz Sławski company

Watch out for the company from Bytom which sends cash on delivery parcels to get easy money. 


Internet users warn each other against SET-BET Kazimierz Sławski company. The company sends cash on delivery parcel to the amount from 130 PLN. The entire problem is the fact that nobody ordered anything from the company. 


It seem that if somebody didn't order anything, they won't pick it up. However, swindlers mainly count on companies, where it is harder to establish which employee ordered something and the parcel is being paid. It is possible that we order numerous goods and we will pick the parcel up by force of habit or an unaware household member will pick it up. 


Remember, if the seller sends the good which we did not order we don't have to pay for anything (Art. 15 about the protection of consumer rights). We should not pick up packages from the unknown source. 


The fraud of this type is a universal practice. The perfect example can be packages with books with enclosed invoice. Remember that even if we will pick up that parcel, it doesn't mean that we have to  pay for it. According to provisions, the consumer give his consent for such a shipment. It means that  we are not obliged for any actions, such as sending back unwanted goods. 


Sending unordered goods by entrepreneurs is recognized as an unlawful market practice which falls within the act about counteracting the market corrupt practices. 


Both presented cases such as unordered cash on delivery parcel or with postponed payment (enclosed invoice) is a petty offence and carries a fine for the entrepreneur. Such a company also  faces a financial penalty from the Office for Competition and Consumer Protection . 

If the unordered cash on delivery package was paid we have to report it to the police.
