Russian Resident Loses $63,000 in Online Shopping Scam

A 20-year-old resident in Russia has lost more than $63,000 after purchasing electronic cigarettes and alcoholic beverages online. The girl found a seller with the most followers on a social platform and communicated with them. After selecting the products she liked, she received a quote for 24,530 rubles.

After transferring the funds to the seller, she received a message that she could receive a nice gift if she made a purchase of 35,000 rubles or more. She proceeded to buy more products to meet the required amount. The seller stated that they would have the logistics company handle the shipment, but this turned out to be an empty promise.

Subsequently, the girl was once again deceived by a product worth 27,500 rubles. After the seller received the money, they promised to send the product the next day, but later made excuses and claimed there were problems. Therefore, the Russian woman ultimately did not receive any item.
