Online Shopping & One-Page Ad Scam

Last updated: 2026-06-21
Bottom Line: Ads on social media that say 'limited time ultra-low price, click and there's only one page, only cash on delivery or bank transfer, no company info' are 90% one-page scams—wrong items or no delivery at all.

Common Signs

Self-protection before ordering

Search 'business name/URL + scam / reviews / ptt / dcard'; check if the company has a tax ID; prioritize legitimate platforms with buyer protection and credit cards (can dispute charges); do not use bank transfer or cash on delivery for unknown one-page products.

❓ FAQ

Is cash on delivery safer?

Not necessarily. One-page scams often use COD to send low-quality/wrong items—you pay, open it, and find out. You can refuse upon delivery, but once signed and paid, recovery is hard.

Can I get my money back if scammed?

With credit cards, you can file a dispute with the issuing bank; bank transfer/COD is harder. Keep order, chat, and transfer records, call 165 and file a police report.
