Times The Internet Got The Best Of These Online Shoppers
Gone are the days where we could trust the internet (if those days ever existed at all). The internet revolutionized the way we shop. We can now shop from the comfort of our couch, same-day or next-day delivery is becoming more and more common, and most online retailers have better sales than the brick and mortar stores.
Having that much power at our fingertips comes at a price. Unless you are shopping for the website of a respected retailer, the biggest downfall of online shopping is that many times, you don’t know who you are truly purchasing from. eBay and Amazon have transformed how we shop, but they’ve also transformed how we get ripped off.
Beauty Blunder
If you buy makeup, skincare, or beauty products online, you know that the market is ripe with frauds and knock-offs. Most of those knock-offs come in the form of flawed ingredients or fake brands. This one shopper was lucky enough to find a new niche in the beauty-fraud market.
Having ordered a sheet mask online, she was shocked to discover it was hardly the size of her face. In fact, it barely covered her forehead. The worst part is that there’s really no way to combat this scam because no one adds product dimensions on a face mask.
