Yep, get a receipt of payment is the rule.

(replying to you 'cos for the life of me, i cannot figure out how to add a comment w/out replying. I cannot find the button or option, and i know I’m not the only one
and folks have complained about me doing this is the past
but still cannot find the option)

With no proof of payment, one claimed to have paid, the other not
my main fear here would be being accused of trying to circumvent taxes. No receipt = no tax. Kinda bold of your accusers.

I’m sure if he gets paid twice he won’t mind giving a tax receipt for the second lot :wink:

So always go back to the first post and reply to that. What about posts that have 1000+ replies?

(thx for your reply, btw, appreciated)

Got it! Thx eh!

I’m here so long and never figured that out!

91

Oh. I thought you were looking for a separate Comment button instead of the big blue reply button at the bottom of the thread.

I had a guy call me claiming he he paid me a deposit for a satellite installation. No idea who the guy was
 claims I went to his place in Kenting. I asked for the date he claimed I was there. He said he spoke to me and paid NT$10k in cash deposit and got a paper receipt


So he sends me the receipt, scrap piece of paper and has my English name that someone signed and a date and 10k paid. I said great as that was not me. He said it is you and I have your business card. I reply well I can will screenshot passport pages as I was not in Taiwan on that date.

Then I asked him do you know what I look like? Well description of me does not match lol.

93

Nothing in this case shows the OP has paid as no receipt. And yes he is the defendant so it upon him to prove his case as he admits the work was done. I am not saying he has not paid but there are two sides to each persons story. The court will issue a decision.

94

Totally means nothing. I usually always pay my bills promptly. I missed a Fubon credit card payment but I paid my card in full the following month. I slipped up is all. I thought I had paid
 at least in my mind I had lol.

95

Right, so I’m saying it will be a difficult case for the OP.

97

Thanks

98

Well
 I lost. Always get a receipt for any work done.

99

Oh jeez! So the contractor got paid twice?

100

I think the lesson here is always get a receipt no matter what. If the guy can win for not giving a receipt in this case they could easily do the same thing with anything else. Next time you try to buy something and the laoban won’t give a reciept, this shows he could claim you stole it and win since you didn’t get a receipt.

Basically don’t deal with anyone trying to dodge taxes because that could get you in trouble

101

Very sorry to hear that. Back in the day this type of problem could be sorted out by going over there with some type of iron-tool. Now there is CCTV and mobile everywhere. Sad.

102

I can’t believe the great lengths he went to to get paid twice.

104

Maybe it was a challenge. “I’m so good at bullshitting people, I bet I could even
” “I bet you couldn’t!” “Watch me!”
