******** posing as sellers on Aliexpress

Warning!!! This is for anyone that wants to buy goods online from Aliexpress. The payment process is easy. They will deduct your monies and you not receive the goods. There is however a dispute process where you can claim back for goods not received. They will send information that your money will be refunded. Have not received that refund.

Most importantly, your details are shared with ******** posing as sellers on the platform. You will receive calls and emails from people claiming to be couriers/ delivery companies. They will try to get your payment information, as they will claim that you have an "unpaid package" (after submitting a dispute/ refund claim).

Do not give any of your details to unverified people. You will receive an email with a payment screen. In my case, it had Aramex branding. Do not enter any payment/ card details in there. Even though it is a negligible amount like R10.99. Do not, it's a way to get your account info.

I Would have suffered a bigger loss if I wasn't alert!!!

Aliexpress is a breeding ground for ********. Watch out!!!
