Through several official and unofficial complaints received by it, the Competition and Consumer Affairs Commission (CCAC) says it has been recognized that there is a growing problem of scams in shopping in the local online marketplace.
The Commission in a press release is advising consumers to be vigilant when entering into any transaction with sellers in the local online marketplace.
The complaints received have ranged from the non-functioning of items purchased to items being materially different in brand and quality from that which was advertised.
