Stomper pays $100 for durian from Facebook seller who goes MIA then blocks him: Police investigating

A Stomper found a deal for durian on Facebook and paid $100 for the local favourite fruit.

However, after receiving payment, the seller went MIA and blocked him.

The Stomper shared with Stomp that they checked whether the seller had stock before paying $100 for eight boxes of durian on Feb 27.

The transaction did not appear suspicious, and the seller even sent him photos of the durian as requested.

"These lazy people looking for easy money online are looking for buyers of all kinds of food on Facebook," the Stomper said.

"I paid via PayNow and waited till 8pm as promised but the durian never arrived."

"The seller then blocked me."

The Stomper then made a police report on Feb 28.

In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.
