People should probably take this advice to heart when doing some online shopping – when a product deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You can expect the possibility of a scam when you stumble upon something that is absurdly cheap. There is no way these boots (as shown on the left) cost only $12.
You may think the deal’s a steal, but the only steal happening there is probably your own money. This guy learned this the hard way when he ended up with not quite what he expected boots. And there’s more money going down the drain.
Wooden TV
Again, it’s important to remember that when purchasing pricey things like electronics, you’re better off buying directly from the company or from a completely reliable source. If not, you can end up with some real trouble and a blow to your wallet.
Alfred thought he made a good purchase with this television he came across online. Being all excited to receive it, he ended up completely disappointed to find out what was waiting for him inside. Yep, he ended up with a big piece of wood. All that money absolutely wasted!
Mini-Mask
Sheet masks have been all the rage in the skincare world. Ever since western beauty consumers discovered this Korean beauty secret they've been posting funny Instagram posts and even scaring the fellow airplane passengers that sit next to them when they put them on mid-flight.
This poor woman got a rude awakening when her sheet masks arrived. Instead of joining the trend she had to write the company's customer service for sending doll-sized masks. Perhaps her baby can use the face mask? That was a joke! We do not provide medical (or cosmetic) advice.
Purple Rug
One of the best things to look forward to as a newlywed couple is furnishing and creating your dream home. This adorable couple was absolutely ecstatic to do just that. In order to represent their new and beautiful beginning, they decided they would throw out all the old and start purchasing only new furniture for their humble abode.
As such, they came across this pretty purple rug online and thought it would be perfect for their living room. Well, what they received was a purple rug, alright. Just four times smaller!
Scallion Flower Bunch
Hoping to purchase a beautiful bouquet of flowers, this buyer probably didn’t prepare to hear some bad news upon reading the receipt. Apparently, the flower shop ran out of the flowers he requested for and instead, gave him an alternative to a bouquet.
This hilarious alternative ended up being some spring onions. Who would even be satisfied with a substitute like this? He probably just used this for dinner that night.
