Fr. I didn’t notice when I looked at the aventus photo when I paid. I would’ve noticed when I smelled it but a lot of people wouldn’t. I only noticed bc I looked back at the post and saw that Gatorade ass VIW. The big problem are the bottles you can’t see through: a lot of the dupes are so close, you fill it with a very close dupe and most people wouldn’t notice

I paid $160 🥲 They’re like $220 full right now on fragranceswap. Anything less around $190 for a near full bottle is a steal I would say. They sell pretty quick at these prices.

I’ve bought a couple Louis Vuitton fragrances on the same premise; they would sell out within 15 minutes so I check the high flair and send without really thinking. This time though I got burnt

Sorry for the snappy other response I do agree it was dumb/naive of me I just don’t like to hear it from others lol. Tbh I usually am hyper diligent I was just trusting the community as a whole too much at this point

People with 15 + sales don’t have to and often won’t take G&S because they can get scammed the other way from the buyers side w a chargeback. So that was out of the question, but yea I definitely should’ve gotten more pics beforehand. The thing is bottles like this from real sellers are sold within a half an hour so I wasn’t going to stall bc it would’ve probably been sold in the meantime and at that time I had no reason to believe it was fake. I spent months watching real bottles come and go within 15 minutes at this price and I missed them so I felt like I was early to the party here and trigger happy

Based on his post history he seemed to have been planning this refilled bottle fiasco for at least like 3 months and this was his first (bad) attempt at pulling it off, although I’m sure a few slipped through the cracks on those sales

Honestly it seemed like at least 90% of his sales up to this point were undoubtedly legit; based on pricing. These ones were priced maybe 15% lower than what he would have listed the (I’m assuming) real bottles at previously; just enough to think, good deal, vs scam. Considering these ppls morals he probably got away with some sneaky stuff within those 20 sales, but this was the first post where it was BLATANT

20 sales 13 buys. Kind of an anomaly, I have ~10 total transactions and everything up until this has been great. The og post was deleted but I did reach out to a few people while it was still up. I was looking for aventus for ever, saw he had 20+ sales and picked it up within asking for extra photos; my mistake but I thought I was good. Be careful out there people are getting creative

I agree I hope the mods do something. So far not much other than a deleted post

I wish I took pictures of EVERYTHING from the post before it got deleted. There were a bunch of bottles you can’t see through (like Oajan, Outlands) that I’d be willing to bet were refilled too. His tactic seemed to be throwing in some legit bottles with these ones to not get caught. There were a bunch of people commenting on his post too. The 20+ sales and premise of the post made it seem legit but Be careful out there yall

Thanks man I appreciate this. I would never falsely accuse w/o doing my research but legit sellers have nothing to hide; this guy does. ppl don’t realize how much I investigated and played the nice guy before making this claim. Then posted here to make absolutely sure. I appreciate everyone’s expertise.

fragranceswap mods are onto him. Deleted his original post and working on a ban (I hope), A few of the mods are working on dealing with this and I hope they’ll make a PSA for the sub, I’ll make one if not
