Instagram store called thrifted.shoes which has 16 K followers and a backup account called thrifted.shoes_clothing advertised a shoe as real and authentic and sold it for 3500/- and when it came here I took them to the shop they say that they are 1st copies. I had believed them because from the images the shoes were really worn out and that’s why the price was less but after finding out I told them and they refused to take it back and only if possible refund 200/- and that they cannot do anything that they themselves got scammed.And they blocked me afterwards. I’m just curious because just because they have been scammed they cannot scam others right?And even them getting scammed sounds sketchy because they say that it was “thrifted” and therefore they don’t have any receipts. Chances are they bought it knowing these are fake and advertised them as authentic real pairs. Isn’t this false advertising? I don’t want these shoes and want to get my money back please help

Is it some Travis Scott edition? Otherwise you shouldn’t have cheaped out on some basic AJ lows.

Yeah it was the fragment design edition and the only reason I bought it was because it was worn out so bad and I thought that’s why the price was low and I could just keep it in my collection

I seriously can’t understand why they trust a random insta store instead of physical branded stores.

Dial 1930 or report to cybercrime.gov.in

ADVOCATE HERE. You can do a lot of things, however, foremost action would be to file a cyber crime complaint. Please note that action will not be taken instantly, it may be matter of months too. Next, you can file complaint on NCH/Consumer Complaint at Commission. NCH will be free of cost. You can further register a complaint with GST Department. There are other steps too but too much to write. Please take action. My best wishes.
