Vinted Facebook page scammer warning
I posted on a very legit looking ‘Official Vinted UK Customer Support Group’ with over 32000 followers about an issue I had with an uncollected (after 32 days) item. I was simply asking if anyone had had a similar problem, not asking for refund or anything. As part of the post approval, I had to leave my phone number and email address. Within minutes I got a phone call from a UK mobile after receiving an email saying to expect a mobile call as their phone lines were down. Thought it was a bit odd but despite red flags, I ended up being scammed for almost 200.00. The details aren’t relevant but what is clear that there is someone part of the group admin who has used my contact details which were only visible to admin and mods to scam me or has passed my details onto someone else to do so. Luckily I was able to contact my bank straight away and I’ve been refunded.
