Many rely on payment methods with no buyer protection and websites that disappear once enough orders are placed.
Convincing but bogus shops that take payment for goods that never arrive or are worthless.
Smishing messages posing as couriers asking for a small fee or login to 'reschedule' delivery.
Fake or knock-off products sold as genuine, often unsafe and with no real warranty or returns.
Fraudulent sellers on classifieds and marketplaces who take payment off-platform and never deliver.
Scams targeting sellers, where buyers exploit chargebacks to get goods for free after paying.
Sellers provide bogus or recycled tracking numbers to delay disputes until protection windows close.
Pop-up shops on social platforms that advertise heavily, take payment, then disappear.
Bogus voucher and coupon offers used to harvest data or lure shoppers to fake checkout pages.
Sites posing as official brand 'outlet' or 'clearance' stores selling fakes or nothing at all.
Payment is taken for goods or tickets that are simply never sent.
Imposters posing as retailer or platform support to steal logins, payments or remote access.
