Popular Post snoop1130 Posted August 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2023 The pitfalls of online shopping were once again brought into the spotlight after an elderly man was duped into purchasing a set of fake teeth that turned out to be unusable, laughably plastic in appearance. The incident, shared on TikTok by the user @tuttapan1329 on August 6, sparked a wider conversation about the risk of buying less-than-authentic goods online, which continues to catch consumers unaware despite the variety of products and services available. Often sold by anonymous sellers or through suspect call centres, these low-quality products lure victims with their competitive pricing, freebies, and persuasive advertisement strategies that paint a deceivingly functional picture of the items. The challenge, however, lies in distinguishing between unreliable vendors leveraging these techniques and legitimate businesses. The TikTok video posted by @tuttapan1329 offered viewers an insight into this issue. The user posted the story about his father who had been tricked into ordering not one, but two sets of fake teeth from a renowned online platform. The post hysterically juxtaposed the bright, unrealistic whiteness of the fake teeth against his normal set, labelling the counterfeit as a futile attempt at mimicking real dentures. The caption accompanying the post warned users against allowing the elderly to watch numerous YouTube videos, ultimately leading them towards scams wielding enticing offers such as “650 baht for one, get one free.” By Nattapong Westwood Caption: Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Full Story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/elderly-man-tricked-into-buying-fake-teeth-online-sparks-debate-on-online-shopping-risks 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimamey Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 My wife was showing me one of these online last night. I'm not sure if she was seriously considering it but pointed out that it wouldn't work. She has one central that's slightly forward so even if you put something over it or would only make it worse. I was a dental technician so I know what the solutions are and these definitely aren't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
