In Ukraine, it is common to denounce online shopping in deception and dishonesty. Although such moments actually take place, often the buyers themselves strive to leave a careless seller with a nose. As told in online stores, they really often have to deal with the facts of fraud on the part of buyers. In this case, rogues invent as new methods of deception, and use long-proven. Counterfeit money and worn items The main trend in the market are attempts to buy goods with the help of stolen bank cards. But this is not limited to. Another common scheme is built on the return of purchases. The man brings the goods, but he does not have a check - he allegedly lost. The goods themselves in this case is fake or defective. When refusing to return money, such pseudo-buyers arrange scandals and threaten to call the police. "When they are explained that the store only works with official distributors and the way of the goods from the factory to the buyer is easy to track by bar code, and the check can be restored if the sale did take place, such" buyers "prefer to quickly disappear from the store," - told UBR. ua pr-manager MOYO. ua Sergey Koloskov. Often, clients try to return already worn things. The buyer pays, wears, and then tries to return the clothes under the guise of a new. Or, as an option, he wants to return the expensive thing he bought, but in order to cash in on the store, he substitutes it with a fake. It happens, when buyers show not only creative abilities, but also cunning. "The customer ordered a suit - trousers and blouse. A month later, we were asked to accept a refund. Reason: village costume. Our manager accepted the complaint and began the procedure of clarification with the supplier who provided the goods. In the process it turned out that the client had changed the suit completely - shortened trousers that had become breeches, and fabric from trousers used for the updated design of sleeves and neck. Customers are very resourceful, while being aware of the wrong, insist on their own to the end, "- noted in a conversation with the UBR. ua marketing director of LeBoutique Yulia Shilova. And sometimes it comes to outright crime. Of course, the lives of couriers encroach rarely, but to pay off with them with fake bills - easily. Bitten sites Fair buyers also suffer from the actions of impure dealers. For example, a person can make a purchase in a large retail network, and an unnamed private entrepreneur will bring the order without a fiscal check (all other types of checks are nothing meaningless pieces of paper). In addition, some stores sell, under the guise of new technology, restored or even counterfeit goods. Cheating with a guarantee is also a common phenomenon. Instead of the 12-month warranty, some sellers offer 3-6 months "guarantees" and only when they contact their service centers, which are essentially underground workshops. Therefore, potential customers are advised when choosing a store to pay attention not only to the price of the goods, but also the seller's guarantees, as well as the documents that the buyer receives in his hands. One of the schemes of deceit is a one-day shop. The online market is opened for a short period of time, it is filled with publicly available information about the goods: photos, videos, specifications, instructions, quality certificates and. At the same time, it is indicated that the products are delivered pre-order and, of course, with full or partial prepayment. After scammers have collected money from gullible buyers, the store simply deletes. Clone brands In addition, scammers can create shops-clones of popular online stores, where supposedly for sale are the same products as on the original site, only with a significant discount. "Buyers are enticed by all sorts of discounts almost by 90%, as well as by shares and conditions a la" As a gift to the washing machine, you will get a blender or multivark for free! ". As in the case of a one-day shop, scammers require 100% prepayment and promise to deliver the goods to the customer within 7-10 days. And disappear together with money and an online store. Therefore, we recommend being very cautious with "sellers" who promise high-quality goods at the lowest prices and "work" according to the formula "in the morning - money, in the evening - chairs", - told UBR. ua CEO Ukrainian e-commerce expert Artem Rudko. In addition, before completing the purchase, it will not be superfluous to spend a few minutes to clarify certain details: pay attention to the number of reviews and their dates; check the availability of details / documents on the site (on large trading platforms, all stores have the opportunity to download documents); be sure to verify the details of the details that have been sent for payment with those indicated on the site.
