What they did
The user complained about a warranty problem with a two-year-old mattress and noticed ChatGPT-style replies. They handed the conversation to their own agent, with instructions to cite laws and act like a persistent consumer lawyer.
How it went
The post reports the dispute as ongoing, with no outcome disclosed.
Good to know
Persistence grounded in law works; aggression without basis usually stalls the conversation.
The prompt
My [product], bought on [date], has [defect]. The warranty is [period]. Write a firm reply to the store citing consumer protection law (CDC) and the warranty terms, requesting [replacement/repair/refund] within [days], and mention the consumer protection agency (Procon) as the next step.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
