Ever been tricked while shopping online? A savvy Vinted user recently shared her shocking experience, reminding us all to stay vigilant. After purchasing a coat advertised as “new with tags” for £180, she picked up her parcel from an InPost locker and instantly sensed something was amiss. The compartment was far too small for a coat, and all she found was a tiny white envelope!
Thanks to her quick thinking, she contacted InPost, who confirmed via CCTV that the sender had never placed a parcel in the locker—only the envelope. Despite her previous experiences with Vinted support being lacklustre, this time they responded swiftly, issuing a refund and blocking the scammer.
Inside the envelope, she found a cheeky message pretending to thank her for the purchase. She shared her story online to warn others, sparking reactions from fellow users. One commented, “People who do this are the worst. So glad you got your refund.”
Remember folks, always be cautious and make sure to report any suspicious activity. It’s wonderful to see the support and quick action from companies in cases like these. Stay safe and happy shopping! 🌟🛍️
