Not a romance scam. Not a click on an unfamiliar link, nor an unexpected inheritance from a Nigerian prince. I did not give out my social security number nor buy anyone a gift card. And no grandchildren were kidnapped.
I bought a shopping bag on Facebook.
I’m a sucker for a great bag.
Surprise! This is what arrived in the mail.
When I contacted the company to return the bag, I was given an address in Hong Kong, not an artist in North Carolina.
Shipping to Hong Kong would cost more than the bag itself. When I Googled the company, Craftfolk, I found many complaints of “bait and switch.” I certainly was seduced.
Lessons learned:
-Do your research as to the validity of the company and the product.
-If it sounds too good, it is.
-And the biggest lesson for me was to submit a fraud case to your bank IMMEDIATELY.
