Have you ever been scammed by online shops?

Yes I was once scammed by an online shop though I am an online reseller. I was looking for a supplier who offers cheaper reseller's price than my usual supplier. I've ordered more than 20 pieces shirts and paid the half amount. She delivered 10 shirts and so I paid my balance so she can deliver the other items. One week later my ordered items were not delivered, I've texted her and she had so many alibis like she had forgotten it, she was too busy,out of stocks and etc. I called her so many times but she wasn't answering. It was too frustrating as if you want to talk nasty things to that person but you can't. Take note, the scammer is only fourteen years of age. Imagine how young the scammers today? But then I just moved on and forget what had happened to me. What goes around comes around. If you believe in Karma, then expect that it will return the favor of what he has done to you. Online shop scammers used their pricing strategy which is very lower than the regular selling price. If you notice that, be suspicious. Also, ask other people for references if they made some transactions to that particular online seller. Legit sellers usually have proof of shipping with watermarks in it. Moreover, they also have customers' feedback. If the online seller doesn't have this then it is time for you to think several times before having transactions.

Thanks to god, I haven't been scammed by online shop yet. But some of my friends do. They bought some staff at an amazing price but it turns out the staff they bought are usually fake. Plus it's no use to call them to complain. Eventually my friends have to give up and learn the lesson. From my point of view, if something is unbelievably cheap, maybe we should keep an eye on that.

Speaking of online shops, we really have to make sure we fall into a legitimate shop or referred shop before doing any transactions with them. I was about to be scammed also, I inquired about LED monitor wholesale, but I noticed while we were communicating it seems like the person lacks knowledge about their product. Sometimes he can not answer my questions and shift to another topic. When I looked at their website there were no details listed under about section. There is only a contact number that made me think twice why there was no contact person and address like other sellers have.

not me but one of my friend got scammed recently and he has filed a petition,so we have to be aware and alert in virtual world

Oh, that must have been an awful experience. I wouldn't say I was scammed, and fortunately, after I wrote them a nicely put but harsh tirade via e-mail, they didn't wanna pay for the product... but. My experience was the following: I ordered two really dicounted Chanel lipsticks on this very site. They offered that I could get it in person (so I don't have to pay a shipping fee), and their showroom is open on Wednesday from this to this time. I went there by public transport, it took about 1,5 hours, and I couldn't get in the building (which they actually shared with 2 other companies). The gate was closed, I tried to push the bell, but it didn't work, there was no other entrance, so I left. Then I got a text that evening that I can get my stuff next week. OK, I went there, and still, I couldn't get in, and I called the customer service phone number (the same that was on the site and which I got the text from), and it wasn't in use. Then I was really angry. So I wrote to them that I don't wanna buy these if I can't get into the store, because I don't wanna pay a shipping free for something which wasn't my fault...

Sorry to hear that uncomfortable situation. We do order online too, but as far as my own experience, we haven't got scammed online since we do review first of the site and read feed backs from buyers before we trust online shops. We also compare prices from site to sites with regards to the item being sold so we are also aware that there are also other sites that offer the same item before we buy. It is important to do a research first before going into online transactions and order an item. So next time, you already learned your lesson to study first and research before buying items online.

Hi, There are online sellers that has no qualm of making off with others money by deceit. I am aware of it so I made it a point to buy only from dealers with buyer protection program, usually filing up a case for non deliveries, defective or wrong items and you get our money back. Outside that, it is open country and the principle of "buyers beware" applies. I keep away from them, going down to the mall if I want something to have especially when it involves large amount of money. Nothing beats buying form an authorized dealer where the item is right in front of me, I can always see its physical form and I can always bring it home right after paying for it.
