Expectation: Gaming Chair, Reality: Wheelchair
ONLINE SHOPPING SCAM – A netizen turned to social media to express her disappointment after receiving a wheelchair instead of the gaming chair she had ordered online.
Online shopping scams have become increasingly prevalent in recent years, posing a significant threat to unsuspecting consumers. These scams typically involve fake online stores or sellers who advertise attractive deals on products, often at prices that seem too good to be true.
They may use stolen or misleading images and descriptions to lure buyers in. Once a purchase is made, victims either receive substandard or counterfeit goods or, in some cases, nothing at all. Scammers may also employ phishing techniques to steal personal and financial information.
To protect yourself from online shopping scams, it’s crucial to only shop from reputable websites and sellers, check reviews and ratings, use secure payment methods, and be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true. Staying vigilant and practicing safe online shopping habits is essential in today’s digital age.
Speaking of which, a netizen turned to social media to express her disappointment after receiving a wheelchair instead of the gaming chair she had ordered online. Recently, a certain Patricia Ingeveldt took to the social networking site Facebook to share her experience with an online shopping scam. Her post was accompanied by the caption: “Simbakooo naunsa mani! Gaming Chair man akong gi-order ngano ang niabot kay wheelchair mani?!!!!”
According to her, she ordered a gaming chair online, but it turned out to be a wheelchair. As expected, her post generated mixed reactions from netizens. However, some netizens suggested that the uploader should make an unboxing video to prove the legitimacy of the item she received if it’s indeed a wheelchair.
