Meet the new wild west of internet scams
« on: July 04, 2015, 10:09:39 am »
Imagine buying a watch one day for $69.00; next day that same website shows you its now $99.00

However, the scam here is to keep you buying more products from my shopping service by letting you believing you got such good deal’s right?

So here's how it works...

Today, you buy a watch from them for $69.00

Next day, it gets delivered, you log back in again and it shows that same watch is now $99.00; but how can that be? because they monitor your purchases and it automatically will show the higher price making you fell at ease rather than wondering if you can also buy it cheaper somewhere else too...

It’s rather a false sense of promises...

In the end, you even end up giving the site praises and compliments…

That's why it's best to Google before you buy from one site and then look on Amazon for it and read the Customers' reviews.

Hi, It is better to buy in person by visiting the shops.
