I suspect that until it happens to a particular person that we know or until it is a massive problem, rather than an occasional person involving one or two people, that is widely reported in the press (assuming you believe the particular media that reports it), one will never hear what one considers a "credible" report of it happening. OTOH, I have not heard any credible reports of why I should disbelieve the person reporting the problem.
I have had my share of problems with retailers over 60 years of buying, retailers from whom I would never buy again, while others praise those same retailers. For example, I would never knowingly buy a GE made appliance after the experiences I had, yet I know people who think they are the greatest.
I find it interesting how everyone believes Amazon, who does not release any solid data about Kindle or ebook sales, finding those reports credible, yet don't extend the same courtesy to people who report problems with Amazon. I guess like Apple fans, there are those who believe Amazon walks on water.
I don't know whether the OP's story is true or not; I simply see no reason to doubt the story or the OPs credibility. It is quite possible that the OP's experience is limited to a handful of people and thus not widely reported.
