Found a great deal for a refurbished, electronic product online? Consumer experts warn some sites might not deliver on their promises.
CHICAGO (WLS) — Here’s a quick online shopping tip. Buying refurbished products on the web is a great way to save money, but stay alert for scams before you click “add to cart.”
Refurbished product scams are on the rise, according to a Better Business Bureau report.
Con-artists are selling “like-new,” typically high-priced items online for a low cost, only to never actually deliver the products, or deliver poor quality ones.
How can you tell if the deal you’re getting is too good to be true?
- Look for high quality photos, customer reviews and typos
- Ask about return policies and warranties
- Use a site or brand you know and trust
- Use a credit card to be able to dispute charges
