PLEASE READ - Vinted – Vinted USA Review

Vinted has a very nice User interface and a solid user experience. That being said, this app is absolutely RIDDLED with scammers. For the Vinted team, please provide a means for solving this issue. I have received zero legitimate purchase requests and at least a dozen different messages from people claiming they cannot use the app to make purchases. They all follow the exact same formula. The users have generic names followed by numbers. They ask either “is this still available” or more frequently, “can this be shipped”. The answer is obviously yes or I wouldn’t be using the app. Then they ask for your phone number so they can “talk more easily and make the purchase ASAP”. I have texted with these people to get a sense of the scams they are running. They all want to use CashApp, suggesting there is some level of organization to their schemes. I have consistently tried to report them but there is no real system in place to report scams BEFORE they occur. Vinted - please find a way to address this issue. I have not lost any money to these scams fortunately but the number of almost identical scam messages I have received from numerous users is ridiculous. Your app is leagues better than Poshmark and other competitors in terms of UI and UX but your approach to reporting is lackluster. I recommend you beef up your reporting and review system and also implement a short mandatory user education program to inform new users about scams and teach them how to spot and report them.
