Shopping Scams 

Another common one which happens all over the world. Most commonly with shirts, carpets, rugs, and antiques.

You’re in a shop and you see a designer item at an amazingly low price. 

Maybe they got it wholesale? After some haggling, the owner agrees to sell it to you... and while you aren't looking, they gives you a knockoff.

To avoid this scam, remember that no designer item is ever going to be that cheap, and if it looks real and is still cheap, Its a Fake. 

Second, be sure to always watch what you are actually being given to be sure it’s the exact item you wanted.  

For example, if you purchase a rug in India for shipping - They make a point of  having you Initial the back of it in marker pen and packaging it up in front of you, so that you know you are getting the same item.
