Told them to fuck off.

Why yes I’m from Yorkshire. How could you tell?

The alternative was spending more money on customer service phone calls than the clothes I was trying to buy.

Solved the problem myself.

Then was targeted by scammers trying to impersonate the retailer.

This is why we can't have nice things.
