Lost $77,000 in a luxury goods dropshipping scam website
I was introduced via WhatsApp to this website, an American website claiming to sell luxury goods through a cross-border dropshipping model. Trusting the person who referred me, I set up a shop with his help. I quickly learned that every order blocked the buyer’s funds, and I had only 72 hours to pay the manufacturer. I couldn’t refuse orders or contact buyers directly, and attempts to resolve shipping issues failed. Over time, I had to continually top up the shop balance with crypto to maintain my reputation score. On January 6, 2026, another owner warned “scam shop, run.” I discovered at least three other victims in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, and France facing the same scripted trap. Attempts to close my shop were blocked by new rules, and our accounts were eventually frozen. Between the four shops, we lost between $40,000 and $200,000, including my $77,000 investment.
