A Louisiana shopper was allegedly scammed after trying to buy four mixing bowls on Vinted but instead got four cards. The woman was extremely upset and claimed that this wasn’t a mistake but an intentional attempt to scam her.
The video was uploaded to Rebekah’s TikTok account, thekinder.house. It got over half a million views, with many users expressing shock that someone would be so daring as to do such a thing.
Rebekah said she was confused when she got a notification that her package was delivered to her mailbox. She had ordered four mixing bowls, after all, and you couldn’t fit those there. Unfortunately, the items the seller sent did not fit because they were just cards, which seemed to be part of a flashcard set to teach children about item names.
The Louisiana shopper said that her name and address were put down on the package and that was her proof that this was a scam. She also pointed out that the Vinted shop she bought the mixing bowls from didn’t have any cards listed.
The accusation has still not been independently proven; however, the woman said that she had reported the scam to the platform. In an update, she said that she got her money and even a coupon back.
Louisiana Shopper’s Scam Story Leaves Commenters Totally Puzzled
Internet users who saw the video expressed their outrage at what happened to the Louisiana shopper. Some people said scammers do this to trick the system into claiming they sent the item, since they have a tracking number and can prove something was delivered, though the woman thankfully managed to dispute it.
Other users, however, remarked that the same thing happened to them. “This just happened to me too!” one user wrote and even included a photo of the same cards the woman received.
A handful of users still wanted to defend the seller, arguing that it could be a mix-up despite what the woman said in the video. Others said that this was the reason people should always record themselves unboxing a package, to easily avoid situations like this.
Some users remarked that this whole scam was confusing as it was very easy to resolve, which the Louisiana shopper did. “I truly don’t understand why people do this unless it’s just for pure entertainment on their end, because they’re not gonna get paid unless someone accidentally accepts the order before they check?” one commenter wrote.
Though the woman was upset because she didn’t get the mixing bowls, at least she learned from this experience and got her money back. Next time, remember to always record your unboxing.
