According to a report, an American person was abandoned when he received a picture of a drill of a drill, which he ordered from Aliexpress instead of real equipment, according to a report in a report New York Post. 68 -year -old Sylvester Franklin, a resident of Georgia, ordered DIY tool and a pressure washer from the budget online store located in China, back in November, thinking that she had stumbled on a stolen deal.
A few weeks later when he got delivery in December, Mr. Franklin found that the company had sent a printed-out photo of the item, twisted it, and placed it inside the package.
“I paid around $ 40 – whatever I found was a picture of a drill and a screw. I was very upset. I approached him directly to the refunds.”
“It’s not good. It’s real bad. It is all bad, you know what I mean?” He said.
Disappointed with the scam, Mr. Franklin tried to keep in touch with the retailer, but so far, he has not received any proper communication with the correspondence that looks like a distant possibility.
“Don’t scam anyone. I do not like to scam because if you spend your money, you want to get what you paid.”
