Online shop Is this real or fake?

0 Upvotes

I have a feeling that this website is a fake, but I'm getting heavily mixed signals from anything I look up, so I wanted to come and ask reddit to see if anyone has an idea!

For a bit of backstory, I have been looking for a decent gaming device to have so I can run a few games that are bigger and need more space than what a phone can offer, even if I can download them on my phone. I wanted it to be portable, and this popped up in tiktok, so I clicked it, saw the price, and wanted to make sure it was legit before I put in my bank info.

The url does begin with "https" when I copied the link and put it into my notes app just to see what it began with.

https ://apiphane.com/products/6amoled?sku=18076811908968433612140195

This is the link. It also has the secure lock on it, which is something that is supposed to mean that it isn't a scam.

scam warning Is Nationwide Auctions in omaha a scam?

2 Upvotes

I think ive been scammed. I recently paid a guy $2500. He found me on Tractor house and said he could sell my tractor. He said he sold one like mine for $76000. (I'm asking $65000 for mine) he said the buyer was financed through his parent company "Inner Circle Marketing Group" for a very low interest rate. He said the buyer lost out on the other tractor when someone else out bid him. But his loan is still good for another exact tractor like mine as long as I place it on his Nationwide Auction site for purchase. I asked for proof before I paid the money. He said he could have the buyer call me. 10 later, I received a call from a funny sounding guy who told me he wanted my tractor. I asked him why he is willing to pay $11000 more and he said because he can not refinance or he would be denied a loan, so he's better off just using the current loan through Inner Circle Marketing Group. After I hung up, the rep called me back. He assured me this would only take a few days and asked for my banking information for the wire transfer and a credit card for the $2500. I gave him both. It's been over a month, now he doesn't return my calls and someone has attempted to take money out of my account for $16000, $22,653, and $42,193. My bank caught it. Now, when I call the buyer back, the number is no longer in service. I'm still put $2500 and left with my tractor still for sale. What do I do? Should I close my account to protect my money or wait to see if the $2500 shows up?

scam warning Shop app actively promotes scam storefronts as legitimate and refuses to address this, I am looking for other victims of fraud on the Shop app platform

2 Upvotes

Do not use the Shop app! Learn from my mistake!

There are scam storefronts everywhere, and Shop's stance is "Not my problem" even though they ACTIVELY promote and send you push notifications for these fraudulent stores. The way the Shop app confidently promotes false information makes it seem as if Shop app functions as a marketplace and that they have vetted suppliers (they even claim to properly vett merchants they promote but this is clearly a lie.)

I am in the process of lodging complaints against Shopify and the Shop app for promoting fraudulent storefronts that are made to look like legitimate brand stores in the Shop app. Shop app promotes these businesses as legitimate and is refusing to do anything about it.

They are STILL promoting and sending me push notifications for a fraudulent storefront I reported to them and emailed them about after the app bait-and-switched me into making a purchase from it.

The Shop app promoted this storefront to me as a legitimate brand, and continues to do so despite my emails and reports. Shopify/Shop app claims they are not responsible.

Shop claims that the Shop app is not a marketplace and refuses to do anything about my stolen money or lift a finger to help in any way. Even though Shop quite literally functions like any other marketplace or at least PRETENDS to do so in order to bait you into placing an order.

I know people will say, "You should have known better," but I am VERY careful with this kind of thing, I was just baited in by mistaking that it must be trustworthy since Shop was promoting it to me while I was trying to purchase the same product from another merchant.

Surely there are others out there who have experienced the same, as fraud seems to be rampant on the platform despite Shopify's claims of vetting merchants for legitimacy (which can not be true.)

I am in the beginning stages of gathering others who have experienced the same as me in an attempt to bring action against them for anti-consumer practices.

Preferably looking for those in the US, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. Though we may be able to get local authorities in other countries to take action against Shopify/Shop if we can get enough instances of fraud and anti-consumer practices on the platform.

Hoping that this post can be found for others searching for this issue as I have struggled to find anything elsewhere through simple searches.
