If you want to transact outside of online portal, then make sure its always COD and their company is verifiable

If they already cancel the order, you should get back your payment on a later date. Then its case closed.

IF... IF LA.....

They send the full name & add detail as a form of intimidation. Hoping you would fall for it and paid the money. (Because out of platform, they can deny it ever happened)
This is con & ransom case.

BUT !!!!

If they never follow up the message, then just confirm they and you cancelled the order and life moves on.

Just to say that everybody data already out there in web. Your face and all your other transactions & posts are out there.

The good thing is YOU ARE NOT PERSON OF INTEREST. Not important enough to say like a politician to use resource to make your life miserable. Yes you kind of feel bad you are not interesting enough to be a target. BUT THAT IS A GOOD THING!!!

Would it be possibilities, that the seller

are newly registered seller and want to scam you via off-market trading?

Don't make any payment outside Lazada. Example, Directly bank-in to shopper account. If you did that, that money bye-bya oredi.

I bought from new sellers with minimal products reviews many times, usually cheapest

Yes the sometimes got scammer too, they usually just cancel after long time no delivery

11 years lazada user but buy item without review? Lol

Differ from Shopee, as a seller, we can accept to the buyer information such as name, contact number & address (both billing address & delivery address), the moment we receive the order.

A very common trick from scammer is they offer to good to be true prices to lure cheapskate to buy from them. Then they will message the buyer personally to deal outside. Some buyer will deal with them out of platform due to greed.

If proceed cautiously means your info would not have leak out so means you didn’t proceed cautiously

What the seller is trying to do is extremely risky. He is trying to contact you directly bypassing the online merchant Lazada/Shopee with your contact info obtained and cancelling the deal after obtaining those details.

If anything happens you bank in directly to a scammer's account, no one can help you after this except it automatically becomes a police report for trade crime.

Lazada and Shopee cannot do anything to help you because the payment did not go through their channels.

It's risky like trading through Craigslist, FB postings, Carousell or Mudah which you deal directly with the seller.

Review also cannot caya one nowadays especially those 5 star reviews. Got many scammers using agents to buy fake 5 star reviews to push their items.

Only trustable reviews are the 1-stars complains. Most of the time they are the real genuine reviews. Do take extreme caution with the bad reviews with 1-2 stars because no one buy bad reviews

Nothing can be done because this is obviously a exploited loophole taken advantaged by the sellers.

Unless the online merchant hides the buyer personal info and only show transaction ID for the sticker printout by the seller. Only at the distribution hub after they receive the parcel from seller, then only they do 2nd printing to attach buyer's address/contact details before delivery.

It'll cost them extra work and expenditures.

Sikit-sikit complaint sini. You ingat sini balai polis ke? Perg reportlah.

years buying never encounter such thing, no deal is real if its too cheap and payment all thru lazada and shopee no issue

buying from the platform follow the platform

Usually if 3rd party store can offer cheaper than even Official Store promo be extra careful, unless it's reputable stores such as Shopee Mart/Lazada Warehouse most are scams or dubious sources. Some are returned good, used ones rejected, imported items.

Lazada haven't release payment to seller. You will receive refund. Don't worry

Just ignore the Whatsapp. The scammer is hopping you'll fall for the trick. Their modus operandi probably is with 10 that they reject, probably 1 will fall for the trick to bank in the $$

U sendiri place order on scammer seller. Of course they know ur address,name etc. Why u greeedy no buy from official store etc

U not najib. U sked scammer go ur house find you?

Yes sellers do get all our info, shopee included. Had sellers calling me to choose different variant when the variant I wanted is sold out. All because I didn't check my shopee chat. Lucky it's genuine seller.

cheap cheap item oklah..but more expensive RM500 up find reputable 3rd party store that have good feedback and in the platform for years

i have buy pc parts from RM500 to RM3k, audio product even RM1.3k its fine as long from reputable store

but most important is buy from lazada or shopee stick the payment thru them..dont go gatal see good deal they tell pay them not thru platform..like that sure get scam

always use head to think and be vigilant
