its staggering sometimes, you just can't help them. Internet, FB etc, scam adverts and people falling for them.
Friends of our have just ordered 2x scooters...from America, for £30 each, advertised on Fb.
1. Why would you buy something from America that you can buy here ?
2. Do people not think 'if its too good to be true....'
3. Surely everyone knows nowadays to tread carefully on the Internet.
4. No thought it might need import taxes paying and how much ? (Assuming it was genuine)
They've no sooner paid for them and are already getting buyers remorse, they've paid and immediately thought....oops.
Another friend paid £12 for an airfryer advertised online, waaaay too cheap, never got it and to add insult to injury, they scammed another £100 + out her bank.
You see FB adverts for a big box of new DeWalt cordless tools, maybe 2 batteries and 8 tools, box etc...for £90.
On what planet do they think people live ? Oh its got reviews telling people how good they were, fake fake fake for chrissakes.
Advert on FB for huge toolchests with hundreds of tools and accessories for maybe £120. You can't buy the toolchest alone of the quality they're suggesting for that money, again, all supported by 'reviews'
I may be wrong on some of the items, but I'm beginning to think I'm in the wrong business, there are stupid people everywhere just waiting to be scammed.
