Twitter user @/faizah_halwa recently shared her experience of being scammed by an Instagram account claiming to sell gold for a suspiciously low price. In her tweet, she warns netizens against buying gold from an online platform unless it is from a trusted store on Shopee, Lazada, or TikTok. Along with the caption, she shared a few images of her conversations with several contacts, believed to be the owners of the Instagram account.
Despite sharing her terrible experience, many netizens were not sympathetic towards Faizah because they felt that it was her fault that she got scammed. Many pointed out that many Instagram “stores” are known to have scammed people in the past, so she shouldn’t have trusted the account in the first place. There are a few that hope she can get at least a portion of her money back but still feel that she’s the one to blame for losing her money.
