The following content is based on personal experience and has been experienced by many sellers. I list them one by one today to help more novice sellers and save them from being scammed! There are many scams on Taobao. Let’s talk about phishing websites first. When the store opened, Aliwangwang was not unpopular. However, we receive a large number of advertising messages and scam messages every day. I think at least half of the sellers on Taobao have been scammed.
The appearance of phishing websites is also diverse. The most common one is information directly received by Ali Wangwang. The content is usually "link" + boss, why has this product been removed from the shelves? Check it out for me or something like that. Seeing such information, many novice sellers will be very excited. Immediately after entering the website through the link sent by the customer, the website prompts that the product has been removed from the shelves and requires logging in to continue the query. Then a login page will pop up. This page is exactly the same as Taobao. If you relax your vigilance now and log in step by step, then your account has been obtained by someone else. Others may not be able to steal your funds, but your account will become a tool for others to commit crimes. In serious cases, your account will be permanently banned. This type of phishing website is easy to identify. To determine whether a website is a phishing website, you only need to look at the symbol in front of the link, which is a green instant Taobao web page, and the others are all external networks. Nowadays, Taobao has stepped up its crackdown in this area and will prompt you when you enter a phishing website, so this type of scam is now very difficult to succeed.
What I am going to talk about now is another form of phishing website, which is a little more difficult and buyers will be fooled if they are not careful. Most sellers recharge on Taobao to gain reputation at a loss, so many sellers hope to find low-priced sources of goods. Scammers take advantage of the seller's situation to publish low-price recharge information on the QQ chat platform to attract the attention of Taobao sellers. These information are generally wholesale-oriented. The larger the amount, the greater the discount, but the discount is not very low, which will not arouse the suspicion of many sellers. . After you agree on the price, the scammer will give you a link to Taobao to take pictures of the product you want to buy. Many sellers will carefully check this link to make sure it is not a phishing website and then relax their vigilance and take a picture of the product to pay for it. Since the products photographed are issued with card codes, the scammer will give you a link telling you that it is a recharge platform that allows you to go in and recharge. Most of them will be very obedient and do as they are told. In this way, you have been cheated again. Any idea what the problem is? Think about it carefully!
Phishing website fraud is a technical activity. Let’s talk about another fraud method. Scammers with this kind of fraud information often take advantage of the eagerness of some novice sellers to sell their products to make profits. One day, my Want Want information bar popped up. "So-and-so" took a phone call of five hundred yuan in my store. I immediately checked the transaction status, which showed that it was waiting for the buyer to pay. Then the buyer sent me a message asking me to ship the goods, so I checked the transaction status again but was still waiting for the buyer to pay. Just like this, a psychological war began. The buyer insisted that he had paid. He asked me to ship the goods many times and said that the transaction status here was delayed. He also took screenshots to show me. The transaction status shown in the screenshots was waiting for the seller to ship the goods. He also threatened in his words. At this time, I myself couldn’t figure out what was going on. But in the end, I picked up the phone and dialed the Taobao customer service phone number and asked them to help me check the status of the order, so the problem was solved. This type of scam is something that novice sellers should pay special attention to. When encountering problems, they are more likely to communicate and consult with Taobao customer service.
The most disgusting thing is the professional negative reviewers. Many people make a living by giving negative reviews to sellers and defrauding them of money. For this type of people, there are currently no effective prevention and control measures. If you encounter it, you can either lose money to eliminate the disaster, or fight it with bad reviews to the end!
I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone, and I also hope to use it to dissuade those who go astray. All roads lead to Rome, which does not mean that people should do whatever it takes to achieve their goals at the expense of others. Doing the right things on the right path will make our souls at peace. Of course, Taobao should also improve some management measures and introduce some relevant policies to help new sellers and new buyers, while also inhibiting those with evil intentions who continue to gain profits by posting phishing websites or working as professional negative reviewers, which may make those in the dark People who are desperate under such circumstances can move toward the light!
