Vinted Scam Highlights Online Marketplace Vulnerabilities A recent incident on the online marketplace Vinted highlights the vulnerabilities sellers face. ChloeChandler, a Vinted seller from the UK, detailed how a buyer created a new account to purchase items and subsequently left a negative review, despite the items being delivered in perfect condition. "At this point I don’t even know what to say… More crazy Vinted drama I’ve had. I don’t want 2 stars!!", Chloe said in her video. The buyer's account was later deactivated.
