Internet shopping has become a great tool to purchase various items, since great deals are usually found on the web. In addition, you save the time of going to search in physical stores, since everything arrives directly at the door of your house.
However, there are also many risks of scams, theft and disappointment if the product you ordered does not meet your expectations. Nasty things happen to users on a daily basis, although not all of us find out about it, but in this case the video of a girl who ordered an iPhone from a “reliable” store and ended up vilely scammed went viral.
In the clip, uploaded to TikTok by the account @maryluna.333, the girl is observed opening her package very excited, while explaining that she ordered the iPhone 12 through Walmart’s online page, but that it was a refurbished device, so it would not go in its original box. However, the strange thing began for her since she saw that a Huawei brand box was inside the package.
Then another person is observed approaching and asking him if they had sent him a team of that brand, which would have been better than what he found, because when he opens the box, he realizes that it only comes with a bar of laundry soap, staying the two in shock.
The video has achieved two million views in just a few hours and the comments about it did not wait, although many doubt that it is true for many reasons, such as that the video seems that the package has been opened before and that Walmart does not deliver through external parcels, as the girl says that it came to her by FedEx, among other things.
In addition to making fun of Mary’s misfortune, users told her that what happens is that Walmart’s platform also supports third-party sellers, who are the ones who suddenly come to scam buyers.

Online shopping is a great tool, but we must be very attentive to the pages where we buy, make sure they are real, that they have buyer reviews and check the return policy or something that gives us security as buyers.
The main problem with buying products online is that they go through many hands. Even some parcel companies have a very bad reputation for opening, mistreating and/or stealing packages. In the meantime, let’s hope that some guarantee is valid for Mary Luna or that she can at least solve her problem.
