Please beware of recent Vinted Scammers
Hi all, just want to make everyone aware that over the last week there have been multiple brand new accounts popping up on Vinted UK using stolen images from sold Mercari listings.
Their usernames are always two random words and then 4 random numbers, and they always list the items for just below £80 - not sure why it’s always that number? They are posting using stolen pictures of rare sealed figures, mostly SATBK Lancelot, and others like a Joyride SA2 Battle figure.
I am reporting them as soon as I see them and Vinted have thankfully been responding quickly, but I want to raise awareness as unfortunately one of the figures did get bought before Vinted saw the report and I don’t want to see anyone lose money.
Please keep yourself safe from these scams - reverse image search pictures, check Mercari, ask for pictures a scammer could not produce.
