Exclusive - This Man Bought a Flatscreen TV But Got This Instead! Find Out What Happened Here!


Since the rise of the internet, a lot of transactions have become more efficient. From sending messages and connecting with friends to buying different items, such as appliances clothes, the internet has definitely helped ease convenience for everyone. 

Online shopping saves time and gives one the opportunity to look for cheaper prices without leaving home. 

However, as this industry booms, more and more are also exposed to online acts of fraud. Case in point, the story of this man who bought a flatscreen TV online but received plywood wrapped in a black plastic bag with stickers attached to it instead.


This Man Bought a Flatscreen TV But Got This Instead! Find Out What Happened Here!

The modus goes like this: a bogus salesperson posts pictures of a particular product in social networking buy and sell sites. Usually, the pictures are enough to entice the prospective buyer. They prey on this gullibility and are able to fool people into forking over the cash before they send the so-called “product.”

One disadvantage of buying things online is that you don't have the option to check it out and test it before buying. Therefore, it’s hard to tell if the product is in good condition or if it even functions. 

Here are some “iwas-bogus” tips:
1. Go to reliable buy and sell online stores. 
2. Ask questions regarding the product. 
3. Make sure that you can test the product first before buying it. 
4. Don't pay unless otherwise guaranteed that the product is in good working condition. 

Buyers are urged to get the personal information of the seller and conduct meet-ups first so that they can check the product out before buying. 

After all, every peso we spend is hard-earned.
