Online shoppers, of recent, have had cause to whine and complain as cases of rip-offs are on the increase. A lot of victims have taken to different social media platforms to lament about transactions gone wrong, waiting for eternity for products that will never get delivered after making payment or getting something totally different from what was ordered for.

Currently buzzing on the photo-sharing app, Instagram, is the case of a fabrics merchant, Aramide Oladoyin popularly known as “Arashow” who allegedly swindles customers of their hard-earned money by not delivering the goods ordered for. The controversy came to the fore when an Instagram page, @ffashionfreakscammer857_scammer2022 popped up and started posting very sensitive information and complaints from those who had fallen victim to the alleged scamming ways of the accused vendor.

Although the page has been taken down and the accused tendered an apology via her Instagram page and promised to make amends, the ever-rising wave of fraud continues to pose as a threat to genuine entrepreneurs trying to earn a living via the platform.

With these scam pages posting too-good-to-be-true prices for products that actually cost way more, it’s no wonder why shoppers keep losing their monies to the operators of such accounts. Their modus operandi is to display product pictures at mouth-watering prices to lure the unsuspecting customers to their pages, get the customer to pay for the “product” of their choice and block the victims from contacting them via the details provided.

Well-known vendors also suffer from this scourge as fraudsters create clone accounts to defraud unsuspecting customers, creating problems for the real vendors when the victims storm their pages to accuse them of not delivering products that were paid for.

Two popular hair sellers, MizWanneka and GleeHair are the major sufferers of the accounts cloning. Hardly can a week pass by without an aggrieved customer complaining in their comment section or Direct Messaging about not getting what they ordered for without realising that they have fallen victim to fake accounts posing as the real ones, despite several disclaimers by the aforementioned vendors to help curb the menace.
