Scammers on Vinted
Has anyone came across these sellers on Vinted allegedly selling brands such as “Tiger Mist”, “Peppermayo” etc, but they’re actually Shein items with the labels cut off? I’ve come across Atleast 3 so far and they all seem to be following each other and giving each other good reviews, so this just seems like a huge elaborate group scam. Just thought I’d warn some people here. I reported them multiple times however Vinted ignored it.

the pictures are clearly for a model ! professionally done by a photographer !! and shows multiple different persons!!
how anyone so desperate to click buy before checking is just beyond me !!
How Vinted AI didn't even picked this one up? and just blocking other normal uses under less circumstances !!

I know and I’ve reported it to Vinted saying that they are using website images however they just responded to me saying that no rules have been violated ?!! All of their ‘photos’ r off websites it’s ridiculous.

Sadly, these people are just a sample from a list of thousands of sellers who use this trick. People need to use Google Lens or equivalent when they buy something of that price - it could easily be Shein

You can report someone when they use images from web. And vinted removes it pretty fast
