Unraveling Online Shopping Scams: Tales of Misadventures and Lessons Learned

We did get scammed at some point in our life don't you think either is from the local vendor or it is from any online scams? Some are too small so we dont ebene bother to think about that too much but some did get our attention sometimes it is really hard to ignore them. We often do see so many cases, How we did get different products rather than what we ordered online. There are so many online schemes are ongoing related to this. Sometimes you did get a parcel in cash on delivery the amount is not that much but still imagine if it is being done on a very large scale then how much they are earning.

One of my office colleagues used to keep the parcel and pay the COD amount and after opening the pack he realized that he didn't order it then who did it. Last time I stopped him to pay the amount if the parcel didn't belong to him then why he is paying for it let's get it back to its place.

I don't do online shopping that much I do think offline shops are more reliable than online websites (not all the time though )my opinion also I do by-products and I only buy online from trusted websites. I do buy products when it is available at a decent discount price. Sometimes the website does fool us by showing less amount but if you do check the website a few days before the sale price was below then at the sale time.

Last month I ordered an earphone from Amazon, I do have headphone from Sony. But it is big I do rather than headphones but unfortunately I bought one now I have to use it. I bought boat earphones it was cheap so I ordered them usually I do prefer black color more than any other colors but this time I want to try something different. I ordered light green color this time it was looking beautiful. All though the price of the earphone was a bit more than the black ones but I want to try so why did the order do it?

The price of the black one was 399 INR and the price of the green one was 599 INR. It was around 7 USD, yes it's cheap if you are a wonder then I recommend you to visit India on it will be fun and you can travel to a lot of places on a very low budget. So I did receive the parcel after almost a week. I was excited to see actually how it will be really. But when I open the parcel price that I did get the black one and they charged me the money for the green one.

When I check my order the color was also changed in my order the color was replaced with a black one. I did leave a comment below the product review section but today I was searching for my comment and it was gone. I am sure they did intentionally remove it from there. My colleague suggested I return it. But I like to leave it to let's leave it to the Karma. Although I did lose the earphone after a month. Now I have ordered the earphone from its official website let's see this time how thanks will go. The earphone will be arrived by Monday so it is gonna take two more days let's see what I will get this time. This time I did both you p*** it's only 399 INR. So this is my story what is yours 🙂
