Mine responded with a 300 baht refund. I had 3 days to respond. I click the Respond button and I was given 2 choices - either accept the offer or cancel the Return/Refund request. I queried this with helpdesk and they said then I have to set up a new request. So I cancel my original request and set up another. The seller then ups his offer by 10 baht. The process repeats 4 times until I am told I have run out of times I can request and the seller has won, basically. Are you saying that I should not have responded to the Seller's first offer because that was the only other alternative? 1) you shouldn't have ordered the product when you had a very good indication that it was fake. 2) you should use cash on delivery instead of paying upfront 3) when you give the shoes back to "his friend", you should have gotten a refund from that "friend" So many mistakes and it is all Sloppy's fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Hey, when you open the packages outside, does that shredded packing material ever blow out and make a mess?

ben2talk Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 There is one scam I just got caught by - currently under review by Shopee. I'm never worried about 'fakes' because if the goods delivered aren't genuine, you can refuse to release payment or request a refund. Three years ago, I got a pack of razor blades (Astra Superior) and refused to accept because the plastic casings were very very poor (i.e. bad moulding - the slots had plastic in them stopping the blades sliding out). I got a refund on the strength of pictures not matching the images on the website - but still tested the blades which are indeed genuine and still in use! I ordered a keyboard in Shopee for a very good price (legitimately prices vary from around 1000 to 2000 baht according to spec) of 1300 and planned a separate order for Thai keycaps from Aliexpress to provide a nice colour contrast also (as it was the ENG only version with MX Brown switches). So 3 days later, the bell rings and the delivery is made. As I handed over the cash, I opened the end of the box - but too late I spotted a cheap plastic toy inside. So I went back to my phone inside and checked the app. The seller accepted the order and 'scheduled delivery by J&T'. He got the details - but he sent COD by Kerry so he can receive the cash because it doesn't go through shopee. Given that most things aren't delivered in 'official' looking vehicles nowadays, it's hard to spot... I guess the pandemic put an end to all deliveries via liveried vehicles. 1. The delivery people generally will not allow you to receive or open anything until you give money, so no stupid comments about that. 2. Whenever goods are delivered via shopee or Lazada I always got refunds - and only once had to actually return the goods (and that was free - handled by simply taking it to the local 7-11). So I guess the point of this post is that you need to take care to take your mobile when you collect - check that the item is, indeed, marked for delivery and that the person delivering/label on the package matches the shipping marked in your app. Waiting now to see what happens - should take a day or two to get an answer, maybe another week for a transfer/refund. 1,326 baht - EN COD Fraud Order Sn: 2202213G0399A1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissapointed - they should be interested to (a) contact Kerry and cancel the COD cash reaching the sender (b) contacting the police, releasing the sellers details to the police and (c) organising with Kerry to get the money transferred back to the scammed customer. They said 'do it yourself - go to the police'. The police said 'do it yourself - contact Kerry and ask for refund'. Amazingly Kerry (without all the details - except the actual parcel number) said they would halt the COD cash and try to find a solution... then they said 'give us your bank details and wait 7 days'... So watch this space. I guess the news to take away from this is that you're pretty safe running scams online here - nobody wants to bother you, they'd rather just tell the customer to go chase their own cash.

I actually felt guilty about that - it was only about 230 baht, but remember a newsagent who caught me stealing a chocolate bar (I think 30p) explained that he made only 2p profit - so he must generate a turnover for another 15 bars of chocolate (£4.50) before he even got that back. If Shopee are that hard on their actual sellers, then surely they should be even more angry and keen to chase up scammers who only use their platform to fraudulently gain customer information and orders. However, I learned the lesson - don't receive anything not tracked properly in the app. Annoyingly simple because the delivery driver called me, I put down the phone and walked right into it. Anyway, just as a matter of interest - seeing as I just won 3 Macbook Pro's in competitions and only have use for two, I'd be interested to sell one for maybe 30,000 baht if you're interested...

ben2talk Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The Seller's shop has been blitzed. The open order was never marked 'sent' or paid... The seller won't collect more than the information/delivery details via shopee. The seller can now go ahead and open another 3-4 shops with the identical item, images, and maybe try with a few prices to attract greedy people, and others with a price nearer the original.

Ok, - to finalize this story - I was told by Shopee that it wasn't their problem, the seller got banned and no action was taken against him... But Kerry, after a good many crazy phone calls over a month, did come up trumps - the keyboard was collected and I was refunded.

PremiumLane Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Always look at reviews and if the seller has a good score. if a product doesn't have reviews, I will not touch it. And if you can buy from official sellers on there - and as others have said, if the price is too good, it is cos it is fake. Both L and S have a lot of fakes, just got to be smart about spotting them. Edited April 11, 2022 by PremiumLane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
