iFail

So for our assignment in class, my professor wanted us to try something new that is completely out of our normal routine, and miserably fail at it. Now for my experiment, I did not completely go out of the norm but I still did something I knew I was going to fail at. I have always been a technology guy and always experimented with new electronic devices. Last month, I bought my sister a brand new Kindle Fire. I saw the serial number or key of the package and remembered how everyone scammed Amazon by reporting a damage to their Kindle Fires and got new replacements no questions asked. I did it once with my friend and I thought I should do it again. I lost the manual that was downloaded online that showed step by step instructions on getting a free Kindle. The manual also contained the complaint letter that was to be sent. So I tried to do it myself and wrote a new complaint by myself. The person caught on to me and asked more information than the first time I complained to them. He asked for my debit card information and my address and where and when I bought the Kindle. He told me that if this is a scam, he can track my IP and get me arrested. I was so scared that I unplugged my whole desktop and the internet router of my house. I realized I tried to do something by myself and failed miserably.
