Be careful when buying online: Fraudsters use PayPal trick in Ludwigshafen!

Ludwigshafen, Deutschland - A 71-year-old man from Ludwigshafen has been the victim of a perfidious fraud! He bought VR glasses for 240 euros via the online platform "Classifieds", but never received the goods. The contact with the seller brings off after the payment was made to "friends / family" by PayPal - and thus without any buyer protection!

police urgently warns of such meshes: buyers should check seller profiles carefully and have comparison prices. The cash payment is particularly recommended for used goods to check the goods directly before buying. All buyers should note six information so as not to fall into the fraud trap!
