Buyer falls prey to cheap RXZ advertisement, suffers RM2,000 loss
A teenager in Malaysia recently lost RM2,000 after falling prey to a fake advertisement for a cheap Yamaha RXZ motorcycle on TikTok.
The victim, who is only identified as Aiman, saw the advertisement on TikTok and contacted the seller to inquire about the motorcycle.
The seller told Aiman that the motorcycle was in good condition and was being sold for only RM2,000.
Aiman was excited about the prospect of getting a cheap RXZ, so he agreed to buy it.
The seller then asked Aiman to transfer the money to a bank account.
Aiman transferred the money without hesitation.
After the money was transferred, the seller blocked Aiman on TikTok and all other social media platforms.
Aiman realized that he had been scammed when he went to the address provided by the seller and found that it was a vacant lot.
Aiman has lodged a police report against the seller and hopes to recover his money.
This is a reminder to be careful when buying anything online, especially if the price seems too good to be true.
It is advisable to only buy from reputable sellers and to check the seller’s reviews before making a purchase.
It is also important to use a secure payment method, such as PayPal, when buying online.
If you are unsure about whether or not a seller is legitimate, you can always contact the company or organization that is selling the product or service.
If you have already been scammed, you can contact your bank or credit card company to report the fraud.
You can also file a police report and contact the Better Business Bureau.
