Comments on: Buyer Beware! (“Returner” also Beware) http://www.computerdefense.org/2007/06/buyer-beware-returnee-also-beware/ Sharing my thoughts with the world. Wed, 16 Nov 2011 02:58:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Randy Abrams http://www.computerdefense.org/2007/06/buyer-beware-returnee-also-beware/comment-page-1/#comment-77516 Randy Abrams Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:20:06 +0000 http://www.computerdefense.org/?p=332#comment-77516 This is going to become more and more of an issue. The retailer was about as clueless as they come. The pictures being sent to Gass were not really Gass's problem, they were the problem of the next buyer. If you recall a while back, Walmart sold a Zune chock-full-porn. The Zune ended up in the hands of a 12 year old child. The store neglected to restore the product to new condition. http://www.zuneboards.com/content/view/26/2/. If the "actors" in content didn't want their pics out there then they should have deleted them, but that the next buyer received this content is the store's responsibility.

Tyler’s post is at http://www.computerdefense.org/?p=332. The story is a man purchased a wireless security camera and configured it to send the pictures it took to his email address. He decided that he didn’t like the camera and returned it to Staples for a refund. A family in Nova Scotia purchased the “open-item” camera, installed it, and started sending pictures to the previous owner. The Staples store neglected to reset the camera before reselling it. You can read the story at http://tinyurl.com/yskdz2. A retailer, presumably a Staples employee, disregarded Staples instructions to reset devices and blamed the previous owner, despite Staples claims that they instruct stores to reset the devices.
