SCAMMERS BY TOKOPEDIA

in #scammers6 years ago

who does not like shopping online in today's era. Yes, online shopping has become a trend in the world even in Indonesia. Because the trend is much used by the fraudsters who roamed in search of prey on online sites, online stores, buying and selling forums and many others. Well, this time the world of social media is being overwhelmed by online frauds in Tokopedia, where someone has purchased the latest BlackBerry handset, then paid for it, but the goods are not up to the buyer's hand.

Quoted from https://www.benysalim.com/![), potential buyers interested to bring BlackBerry Passport is available in Tokopedia which then happened conversations about the availability of the handset. Once confirmed that the handset is available for purchase, then a potential buyer named Beny Salim made the purchase process to make payments via Tokopedia.
After making a payment, the seller receives a personal message about a discount voucher for the next transaction, by way of confirmation by sending Name, Mobile number and email address. Then, the buyer gets a verification email that must be clicked to activate the voucher code, this link is suspected as a phishing link in the form of phishing. Is this a new mode of online fraud that includes an activation or verification link via a private messaging window?

The next day, the buyer gets a notification that the order has been processed and shipped via JNE courier service, but the codes are not found in JNE tracking code search. Not long, the buyer also get a notification that the goods have been received, but the buyer has not received it. After doing komplen to Tokopedia, CS in Tokopedia itself said that the possibility of buyer Tokopedia account has been hacked by fraudsters.

the buyer reviews the purchased item, which is probably the action of the fraudster himself by using a buyer account to make a positive review about his shanty in Tokopedia.
If it's like this, who's to blame? All back to you guys, must be observant and careful before shopping online, see the previous review, how many products in the place are selling, if necessary check whether they have a physical store or real. However, his name is also a cheat always have a way to deceive the victim.
The new mode of online fraud in Tokopedia is probably just a segment of the story the victim wants to reveal, there are probably more victims of online shopping scams in other places that do not vote.
Hopefully we guns so the next victim ya guys ..

I think online shopping scams are everywhere. The website has to be responsible for this, otherwise they will lose their reputation.
