Expectant parents in Montreal are trying to get the public's attention to what they believe is an online scam.
Several say they bought baby strollers from an individual online, only to find out that the products were not as advertised.
Legal experts say there are ways for consumers to protect themselves against fraud, but buyers should beware.
Global’s Phil Carpenter reports.

Kind of flabergasted that someone would pay thousand of $ whitout looking, testing an used product.

@NesparKiwi Месяц назад

The seller is July Ri. She pretends that her parents bought the stroller for her, but she doesn’t use it anymore. So she is acting in bad faith, because she lies.

@xanthonyjamesx Месяц назад

I honestly don’t feel sorry for any of them, & miss the days whenever stroller’s were rated based on safety instead of being a fashion statement.

A thousand dollars for a stroller! How big is the engine?

@davidg11134 Месяц назад

Goes for $1500 new and holds value really well one of the best strollers out there

@Chrisinlgy Месяц назад

You'd be surprised These strollers go for $1500 retail. It's some kind of status symbol for moms at the playground.

@theamazingTRK Месяц назад

That's crazy !!!! I had listed a baby stroller for 20$ on the market for 5 months used/like new, and no one bought it even though I offered a refund for the first 5 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The irony of it

@wheressteve Месяц назад

My daughter couldn't give away a single kitten she had for free so she put them up for $300 each and all 6 were gone for full price within a few days. People are programmed to believe expensive means good and low price means cheap.

Its 100% on you to look at it in person before handing over the cash lol

@fooledyagood Месяц назад

Not defending the seller but there appears to be a real lack of buyer beware here from all the buyers in this piece.

@JJoa74 Месяц назад

I never buy things used unless it's from a store or something where I can track the person.

You gotta check everything out, "never underestimate the other guys greed" as Tony Montana said so succinctly.

@davidg11134 Месяц назад

On her for not checking

@shakyjake2133 Месяц назад

I don't feel sorry for the buyer at all. If people aren't self aware and paying attention by now, they never will. Why this is news worthy is baffling. This is also Quebec, though.

Always Always check anything out that is too good to be true ‼️ how does she have so many crappy stroller’s to sell is my question ⁉️

@mar6553 5 дней назад

It’s not worth taking her to small claims court unless you have a proper address name and a bank account. Why if you don’t have a bank account you will have a hard time getting money as in garnishing her bank account. If you don’t have an address you will not be able to serve the claim on her.

@randomname9758 Месяц назад

It's unfortunate they got scammed but it's also stupid to pay $1,000 for a stroller without opening it up and examining it.

@Digit0wL Месяц назад

Just look what you buy? Why is it in the news? I got rip buying a macbook when i was younger, i didnt call the news to "ring the alarm" lol

SCAMMERS on market place for you , don't etransfer right away and make sure its working properly first. 👍

@pixelsicle Месяц назад

She wanted a STATUS SYMBOL, didn't even look the item over and we're supposed to feel bad for her? Get a grip, there are so many other news stories more worthy such as the fleecing of Canadians at the grocery counter. DO better.

Once prime minister Yu No Hoo's Pharmacare comes into effect, the "free" contraceptives will negate any need for strollers.

are you out of topics lol...

@Puggalug Месяц назад

A “merchant” would be “happier” if they were purchasing an item as advertised. A “merchant” does not like being scammed, because it would make them un-“happy”, and by the news raising awareness of this issue, this prevents “merchants” from having them happen to them too, as they do not want to feel un”happy”. Get it now?
