Low-level stuff
Got sold some counterfeit stuff over ebay, a couple of times the got away with it, others I spotted it. I had someone really start to reel me in over the phone once by spoofing my bank's number and claiming there were some fraudulent transactions on my account. They asked how much I had in the account and when I told them they hung up - not much point trying to scam someone out of an overdraft at the limit!

I've had less bother with AliExpress tbh.
It IS full of scams, but they're mostly obvious, and the real sellers are great.
