Vinted - scam!!

Need help urgently. Just brought something off of Vinted and the seller had no reviews (should’ve smelt a rat then). Anyway, brought the items and they had Royal Mail postage. They marked as sent straight away which seemed off so I went to look on their profile and I’ve since seen they’re selling other members items. Tons of items that are taken from other sellers! I’m now panicking that this scammer has got my address and everything! Like what can I do? I’ve tried contacting Vinted but I’m so worried. They can’t get any money can they? Is this a common scam?!

@kat I can’t cancel the item as they marked it as sent straight away! x

I think I've heard of this before, if you don't get your item because it's fake you will get refunded anyway and they make money because they also get refunded even though they technically never had the item to begin with, but I don't think you would loose out xx

@Molly their profile has now been deleted 🫠 I really hope I get my money back xx

@Amber ah that's a nightmare 😭 Vinted are normally quite good I think so hopefully you will be ok! Xx

If their account has gone you'll definitely get your money back don't worry

@Laurie thank you!! Xx

I’ve had very similar situation, I bought something then realised the profile was a bit dodgy so I just reported to Vinted and they gave me my money back immediately. The item arrived but it was so fake!

@Emma I did a Google search on one of their items and it popped up from a different seller. All with hundreds of reviews etc x
