InvestigateTV - A recent online shopping fraud study by the Better Business Bureau(BBB) revealed in 2022 reported losses in the U.S. and Canada are expected to exceed $380 million with the highest risk category of shoppers between the ages of 18 to 24.
Jenni Stolarski purchased several items of clothing from an online retailer that advertised on Instagram. When she received her purchases, the items received were not as described on the website.
She tried to initiate a return and was told she would have to pay for return shipping to Dubai, then the company stopped responding entirely.
Fortunately, Stolarski used a credit card for the purchase and was able to dispute the charge.
