Right Fudge
THis is what you do.
Dry it out.
Clean it up.
Remove ALL and EVERY sign of the tea- it stains so you will need to clean it very well.
Gotta be quick- the boards rust like fuck and go green.
Stick it back in the box- take it to the shop you got it from- tell em it doesn't work- try and pick the most junior and stupid person- they'll want to check it, try another battery and sim etc - let em do it.
Usual rules apply, be polite and nice, dont kick off- you are ENTITLED to an exchange for the same phone if faulty within 28 days...
Now- obviously the phone isn't faulty but you're pretending it is- so no probs.
If you claim on insurance you will find there is an excess fee and prob the first premium- phone insurance is only free for 1 month if you dont claim!!! (its a sales tactic)
How do I know all this- Carphone Warehouse for 7 years!!! I know all the scams inside out and upside down.
