In the jurisdiction of the Yamatake Police Station, several consultations have been confirmed regarding victims of fraud when shopping on major Internet shopping sites.
The modus operandi is as follows:
? After paying by credit card
when placing an order on a major shopping site, the order is cancelled or returned
without the customer's knowledge, and the amount paid by the credit card is refunded
? After a while, you receive the goods by cash on delivery, and when you check the delivered goods, you find that they are completely different or inferior to the goods you ordered
.
In order to avoid being a victim of this type of fraud,
( 1 ) If you receive an item by COD even though you paid by credit card when you ordered it, suspect fraud, do not pay for it immediately, and put
the receipt of the item on hold.
( 2 ) Check the email or other communication from the shopping site to confirm that your order has not been cancelled
or returned without your permission, even though you did not cancel or return the order
(
It is important to share this information with the family
.
In addition, some major shopping sites have discontinued "cash on delivery" payment, so it is also effective to check whether the shopping site you use offers "cash on delivery" payment.
Take these precautions to prevent damage !
