This scam is disguised as an extra fee.

❓️ What it is - The Better Business bureau is warning buyers on discrete shipping fee scams going around. These are disguised as an “extra fee” said to cover special packaging or stamps. This fee is how scammers make money.

Here’s how the scam works:

1. Someone buys from a phony website

2. Vendor requests for discreet shipping fee through digital payment apps

3. The vendor might request for even more money after paying

4. The package never arrives, or the vendor stops responding

🔗 Fake ads - Most reports came from diet pills, vapes, ammunition and CBD edibles. Its reported that phony deals can be ads on FB, IG and TikTok that lead to a fake website.
