What is an E-Commerce Scam?
What it is?
Scammers create a seemingly legitimate online store or listing that advertises popular products at prices that are significantly lower than the market value. These offers are designed to lure in unsuspecting buyers who are attracted to the incredible discounts.
How it works?
1. An offer that seems too good to be true.
2. The seller rushes you to pay quickly, claiming limited stock or offers.
3. The seller fails to deliver the goods or sends a counterfeit product and blocks your contact.
What do I do?
1. Avoid offers that seem too good to be true.
2. Take your time before making a purchase or sale.
3. Verify the seller’s bank account numbers using the Semak Mule webpage.
