the fake seller

yesterday, i read a group-page on facebook. the page named "blacklist seller". it is a page where the victims of fake online-shops share information. some of them have lost about 5 million Rupiahs.  some of them have lost 2-3 hundred thousand rupiahs. from that group we learn that we really have to be careful if we want to buy something online. the fake seller not only sell their goods on facebook. but this is what makes me surprised. even the official website can be a fake seller. so, be careful, guys!

 in my country, there's a lot of online shops trying to manipulate their buyers with good quality and look-expensive goods with low prices. then, after buyers transfer their money, the sellers just disappear without any responsibilities. pathetic, isn't it? my country's law is not strong enough to arrest them. so, everything really depends on us. we have to be a smart buyer. here are some tips when you are going to buy something online.

1. first. detailed every products. don't be fooled by the low-prices. especially for electronic goods. 

    ex. : notebook A costs about 300 usd, but in a website you find out that notebook A costs only 100 USD. is that make any sense? they usually trick us with "DISCOUNT UP TO 50%", "BLACKMARKET" , etc. but don't get fooled. buy your electronic goods or everything else on their official stores.

2. secondly. when you are interested in product A. try to make the seller closer to you. try to chat, or anything. and try to ask/look for other buyer's testimonials which are their satisfaction for the shop. if she/he is trusted seller, other's buyers testimonials will be appeared or she/he will show you other's buyers satisfaction.

3. the third. if you have made your deal, she/he must be given his/her bank account number to you. try to google it first. if he/she is a fake seller, her/his name will be showed on google as "the swindler". 

4. after you transfer your money. make sure he/she has sent your goods. make sure he/she gives you "delivery code" to track your goods.

everytime i buy online, i always use this trick. hope it will be helpful. 

good luck!
