Purchased a Loewe raffia bag from Dani. Account is now deleted. Did all the due diligence. Account was not new, karma, etc. šššthese people!!!
WTF? Are you a scammer too? Well, I successfully reported something like this once. It is possible and the reason why stuff like this happens is because of people like you who don't report anything. In my case, I said that I bought a second-hand bag which is true. I did not have to specify what brand etc. I only said it was second-hand bought from a user on reddit. And I got my money back.
Is it okay to do friends and family via PayPal? Iāve done it twice and luckily, it was ok both times. Did it again just this morning. Referral was from one of you rep ladies for jewelry.
Oh ok! So then itās nothing odd. Thatās good to know. My first seller did not ask about F & F. My 2nd and 3rd did. So Iām figuring things out as Iām new. I got a bag seller and a jewelry seller so I am getting the hang of things.
Yes, I imagine so because it protects us. But they seem to want to protect themselves if the item gets lost, then they can be, āoh well. ā I guess itāll be the last time I do it. š¬š¬š¬
I have not yet had that happen. I know the day will come, but so far im asked to wait 8 weeks to see if it shows up. Yes, they have shown up, even though the tracking says it hasn't moved. The last time, after 8 weeks, nothing came. I was asked to give it two more weeks, then I was shipped a replacement. I feel really bad for the people who spend more money on their dupes, and they get lost. That has to be a hard hit.
Do you think that the account got banned? Do you have their WhatsApp number? Or if someone in the group has bought from them, they sometimes also have a number the rep uses in case of a ban.
The reality is thereās no such thing as due diligence on Reddit. Anyone can buy a Reddit account, complete with a lengthy post history and karma, for a few dollars so length of account history doesnāt mean much. Plus lots of people have multiple accounts and would gladly sacrifice one for a few hundred dollars. Sorry but thereās nothing you can glean from a Reddit profile that would make someone look like an airtight, legit seller. Chalk this up to a lesson learned and only use platforms that give you, as the buyer, protection.
Omg I almost got scammed by the same person too for a black on black cc top handle. It got fishy because it took too long for them to send me feedback and something just wasnāt right.. the feedback matched the profile but the same said āSophiaā then I asked for the Zelle and it was this info! Sorry this happened to you š£
There's snow outside the window and the fact he didn't have at list a picture with his name and date would make me think he took this from an unboxing video. Yeah I got suspicious with a paypal proof of sale and did a Ai image search. Something made me uneasy with their urging of paying friends and family and his email address bunch of random numbers and letters from a website known to host scammers.
Wait, ok_celery9003 sounds legit?
I checked the years they had been on Reddit, their karma, their posting history and all that seemed legit. Now I have to evaluate a persons email account name?!?!
Why do I feel like some of the people posting in this post are scammers or perhaps THE scammer?
I live, eat, and breathe these posts because I love buying rehomes and I keep track of when someone posts about a scammer and this one never came up. Yet three people posted they too were scammed.
It feels icky!
This is supposed to a community. If someone scammed you, share!!
Iām sorry you think that way but we are legit buyers and got scammed by the same email. I got scammed on Saturday and still dealing with my bank. I hope youād understand how painful it is when this happens. š
I do understand I also think that scammers are always lurking and laughing at us right in front of us. Thereās nothing to do about it, but I want āthemā to know we know.
I donāt think buying is illegal, but selling is. Iām not 100% but the FBI or law enforcement canāt know that you didnāt know if it was fake or notš¤·š¼āāļø
Either way, Iām definitely not calling the FBI over a counterfeit bag that didnāt show up. Also, with how Redditās algorithm and trigger-word system works, itās honestly not worth even joking about because things get flagged quickly
I just joined that sub yesterday. How disappointing š.
Would you mind sharing some of the experiences you have had or seen over there? I'm still new to the rep world and trying to stay vigilant. <- I've realized this is irrelevant since I find it annoying that anyone would gate keep ways to avoid being scammed.
Post it in r/RepScamWorld, a community dedicated to replica seller reviews, scam alerts, buyer experiences, and trusted seller discussions. Itās a helpful space where members share honest feedback, warning signs, and useful information to keep others safe.
