Fjallraven backpacks on Vinted

4 replies

I was searching on Vinted for a rucksack and fell down a rabbit hole.

There are loads (hundreds) of listings for brand new fjallraven backpacks on there. All have similar photos and similar formats for the listings and all from new users with no reviews.

So what's the scam here? Because with Vinted the seller doesn't get paid until the person who has received the item says all is ok. I'm assuming it's a scam of some kind but can't work it out.

Fake ones.

Yup fake!

Oh of course! How hopelessly naive of me to not realise. I wonder if Vinted take action against that sort of thing in the same way that eBay does.

Yes, they'll be fake. I see them all over FB marketplace.
