- e-tailer using fake USPS tracking and/or postage
A user ordered an item from an Instagram ad and received a USPS tracking number indicating counterfeit postage. A second tracking number provided by the seller showed impossible dates (2026) and locations, suggesting a scam. The user received a refund after disputing the charge, with the seller using a shop.app platform to avoid exposing credit card details.
