Fake online sales sites are quickly created with Dobetterservice@gmail.com as the only email address and the only contact information. These sites use generic templates and standard content.
Ads on social networks like Facebook and Instagram promote fraudulent sales sites. The ads feature expensive products like electric scooters and graphic t-shirts at unbelievably low prices starting at $10.
When internet users click on the ads, they are redirected to fraudulent sites whose content and images were probably stolen from legitimate companies.
The fraudulent websites also create a false sense of urgency with claims such as « Limited-time sale! » and « Free shipping ».
Once customers place an order, either the products never arrive, or customers receive poor-quality items that are very different from the ads.
Customers who try to contact the company get no response because Dobetterservice@gmail.com is fake.
Within a few days, the fraudulent sites disappear after scamming many customers. The scam repeats with new domain names and new ads.
Copying a listing on the internet, whatever the platform, is child’s play that takes less than 2 minutes and can’t be prevented...
Nothing says it’s fraudulent (as long as the initial seller’s identity isn’t being stolen in order to scam people), since the item isn’t unique in the world, it’s ultimately more tacky than anything else (probably too lazy to make their own listing).
Online shopping has become extremely popular in recent years because of its convenience and the variety of products available. However, the rise of e-commerce has also led to an increase in online scams designed to deceive unsuspecting customers. One of these common scams involves using fake online shopping websites using the email address Dobetterservice@gmail.com.
and what do you want to do about it, on eBay you have the option of selling a similar item, nothing stops people from copying the images or even the full listing
once the listings are online, it's only fraudulent if the contact details are fake
if the other seller has the same items, nothing stops them from copying a listing
