Two suspects were arrested for cheating online customers. They opened an account on one famous website and recruited 3 staff to sell clothes, shoes, mobile phones, computers and famous watches to customers. They negotiated with customers and sent fake products to customers.

We all knew that online shopping is really convenient and some products are sold at very low price.

There are some skills for the seller to lure customers. They claimed the products are at low price, or they are smuggled products or duty free products. They are trying to avoid paypal or other third party payment tools. They asked the customers to deposit money in their private account. Some suspects are earning membership fees for customers, who may register on the website and the fees are deducted from the mobile balance. ãrnSuspects may send out a message about winning prize in a lottery. Customers must pay for the tax, or commission or handling charge.
Some suspects will send products after they receive the payment. The products they sent were with no value or just an empty case or package box. They will not take responsibilities and they will ask the customers to claim refund from logistic companies.

Customers should know the general market price of the products they want to buy. They can not only focus on low price in online shopping.

Customers need to verify if the seller has a fix telephone number and check other information, including telephone number, contact person, company name and company bank account etc.

Customers need to choose famous e-business websites and adopt third party payment tools to pay for the goods.
