Social Engineering? Internet fraud?

I was browsing the internet the other day, and I saw this forum about Social Engineering. Apparently, social engineering is when you go around and email/call companies, saying your product sucked. However, you never actually bought the product, so you're basically lying to get money/coupons/FPCs from the company. The people that are really good can even get high end electronics, like laptops. I also found out most people on these sites are teens/young adults. What do you guys think about that? Seems pretty sketchy to me....

(sorry if this is the wrong section)

Not sure about that I have found if and when i do call in to complain about something they usually ask for information OFF of the pkg itself as well as where the item was purchased...

the site was there so that people can post/find the excuses and the companies will let you get away without giving away the "information OFF of the pkg itself as well as where the item was purchased..."
