My best friend decided she was giving her sister a new iPod for her birthday in a few weeks. Pressed for time, she turned to online shopping, which she had actually been resorting to of late.
She came across a seller who seemed promising, and his positive feedback from previous clients let her agree for arrangements for an iPod to be had. Messages were exchanged, a deposit was made and confirmation was had. He said that the tracking number would be sent to my friend in a moment. That was, however, the last she heard from him. He had since cancelled his account with the popular online store, changed his mobile number or had turned off his phone, and refused to answer instant messages. That was it.
It's thieving sellers like these who give online shopping a bad reputation. Ripped off buyers don't have much to do as authorities appear to be helpless.
I've made countless transactions online. Thankfully, I have yet to come across someone as this man.
