When the FBI decides to start FBIing again, they should look into mail order fraud.
And they should begin with merchants who post their wares on Facebook.
I've already mentioned the Halloween knock-offs before. Since then it was a Christmas dress for a child that was advertised with dangling embellishments, but arrived with the embellishments printed on the dress. (I was actually okay with this since it's going to be easier to wash and wear again.}
But the biggest and latest scam was a purchase of a Christmas ornament. Pay attention, because it was clever how they did this. Everything went as expected. This time I paid directly with credit card because I'm avoiding Paypal. The confirmation of the purchase arrived through email. Receipt was what I expected. Then I received a second email, which appeared to come through Paypal. It was ten dollars more. I went into my Paypal and the transaction was not there. So I called my credit card company and this is what we came up with: The merchant put the transaction through their Paypal (or it was a downright scam) and that caused an additional $10.00 fee. Since no one knows how these tariff tack-ons work, a customer could have assumed the extra cost was to pay for a tariff charge. I, however, contacted my credit card company to deny the transaction. The nice young girl on the other end said I had to wait for it to clear from Pending in order to do it.
So, I wake up today and go to my inbox and see that the merchant company claimed the Christmas ornament was already in transit. (Take it from me, no online service works this fast) I went back to my credit card account and that young girl must have kept an eye on this because the transaction was already removed. That online merchant doesn't know what hit him. Still trying to negotiate with me to send the merchandise at the original agreed cost. Not a chance.
Any way, I think when the Fraud department decides to wake up in the FBI, they should start with Facebook. I know that Zuckerberg will probably pull strings at the White House to stop it, but the more eyes there are on this problem, the harder it's going to be for him.
