FBI: Social, search platforms linking consumers to fraud sites
Fraudsters are pulling off e-commerce scams using popular social media platforms and search engines.
According to a new bulletin from the FBI, an increasing number of consumers have not received items they purchased from websites offering low prices on items such as gym equipment, small appliances, tools and furniture. Victims reported they were led to these websites via ads on social media platforms or while searching for specific items on online search engines’ shopping pages.
The FBI says that some victims who complained to the vendor about their shipments were offered partial reimbursement and told to keep the face masks as compensation. Others were told to return the items to China in order to be reimbursed, which would result in the victim paying high postage fees, or agree to a partial reimbursement of the product ordered without returning the items received. All attempts made by the victims to be fully reimbursed, or receive the actual items ordered, were unsuccessful.
