Beware of those gifts you see on social media ads – they may never arrive

Stephenson blames Facebook and how fake gifts seem to be popping up on the social media giant’s platform. — Bloomberg

Shopper Sandra Stephenson has a story to share, actually three of them, that should make anyone stop, step back and think three times before rushing to buy the next cute thing they spot on Facebook, Instagram or other social media platforms.

She ordered a “Mama Bear” T-shirt for herself. Supercute with sunflowers, she says. She spent US$36 (RM146) and change. She faced long delays but ultimately a package did arrive. Unfortunately, it included a flimsy shirt that looked absolutely nothing like the “Mama Bear” on that Facebook ad.
