A Sydney woman thought she was buying clothing online from a popular brand. Then, a diamond ring arrived.
When Laura Ramos saw an online sale for a popular Australian fashion brand, with items priced as low as $7, it seemed too good to be true. The Sydney woman ordered about $70 worth of clothing after clicking through a pop-up ad on social media. "The logos were everywhere, there were exactly the same photos used on the website, and exactly the same items," Ramos said describing the site. "They basically copied everything but the price.
According to cybersecurity site LifeLock by Norton, brushing scams are a type of e-commerce fraud that involves victims being sent packages they never ordered. The scammers start by obtaining the victims' details, which they can then use to open hundreds of accounts at the online store where they will list their scam products.
