Vinted Scam?

5 replies

Hi everyone, never posted before so hope I'm in the right place.

I have just started listing some bits to sell on vinted and one item has sold with the following message and link (see pic).

It looks really dodgy to me but as this is my very first listing I thought more experienced users of vinted might be able to help me further.

Any help/advice is appreciated.

Thank you :)

No, that's not a legit vinted message.

The seller does not have to fill in any forms to complete a purchase. And the wording is weird - you are not making an order, the buyer is.

I would ignore it.

That looks a scam to me. I sell a lot on vinted and it always says sold! And the message I've attached below. When you go to your listings it should have a green bar across it saying sold as well. I wouldn't click that link.

The usual message when you have sold something is: "Sold! After the buyer receives this order, £XX will be transferred to your balance. The buyer also bought you a shipping label. Get it and send the item."

I have just had another look on my profile and the item is not actually sold at all.

Thank you for confirming this for me. I'll report them as spam to vinted and delete this thread

Yep Scam! They’ll ask you to put your debit card details in and then steal money.
