I am online seller. My product listing had been impersonate by scammer to scam cheapskate buyer.

How this happen is that they duplicate my product photo, create fake reviews (on facebook, fake posting can be bought easily, one /k/ is in this business where they rent people facebook account to generate fake post). And offer half the original price.

When cheapskate hunt for the chapest price and come across their listing and convience by hundreds of "happy buyer" post and so they proceed to place order by COD method.

Item arrive wrapped in black color wrapping, they can't see the content. Once they pay to the courier, there is no turning back. The item they receive is not what being published online but some random cheap stuff.

I received numerous phone call complain because my number is on the product listing.

This scam only happen on Facebook.
Basically this scanner created a Facebook page, bought the fake post and spend on Facebook Ads. When you click on the Ads, it redirect you to their website.
