Then you should act quickly because it is a scam. While you are wondering about the Zalando delivery you have received, the brazen salespeople make off with your money. Contact Zalando and Vinted immediately and report the case!
How does the Vinted-Zalando scam work?
Fraudsters are currently at work on Vinted. They advertise very cheap clothing and shoes as new goods. If you buy the product, you will receive a package a few days later - not from Vinted, but from Zalando. In the package you will see the ordered goods including an invoice with the original price.
The criminals created an account with Zalando using your data and ordered the desired product to your home on account. Why do the fraudsters do this? We assume this is a diversionary tactic. While you wonder why the package suddenly comes from Zalando and not from Vinted as expected, the criminals disappear with your money! When paying with Vinted Buyer Protection, you only have 2 days to report a problem. If this deadline passes, the money will be released to the sellers.
Victims report that the criminals have even written them threatening messages. Don't be intimidated! Don't respond and ignore the messages. Report and block the person!
Attention: Other portals are also affected
Criminals don't just use Vinted to steal your money! Scams also exist on other online marketplaces. Beware of rip-offs on Willhaben, eBay and Co.! (HERE)
If you suspect fraud, react quickly!
