Question
Hello to the esteemed Rabbi, shlita,
I have a somewhat complex question: Is it permissible to order something from non-Jews abroad and after using the product, for example, if it is damaged, to write to them that it arrived broken, etc.?
I should note that they are certainly non-Jews, and they will never know that I lied to them.
Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
Theft from a non-Jew is forbidden, and therefore it is forbidden to falsely report to them in order to unlawfully obtain money from them.
