Online Shopping Scams

A professional-looking website advertises popular electronics at below-market prices. Orders are placed but never delivered, and the site is taken offline after collecting payments.

A seller on Facebook Marketplace requests a deposit to reserve an item. After payment, they block the buyer and never deliver the item. The seller profile was recently created and uses stolen photos.

A buyer on a marketplace claims to have overpaid and sends a fake proof of payment. They ask the seller to refund the difference. The original payment never clears, and the seller loses the refund amount.
