*condup* These famous brand capitalists take note of people’s comparison mentality. It’s not uncommon for ladies to buy bags easily because they don’t have money to buy them. Only by setting the threshold and having to go through so much hard work to get the bags can people feel valuable. special value. The dopamine threshold of rich people can no longer be satisfied by normal consumption.

As horrible as this was/is for you, sharing what happened and what you could have done differently will be invaluable to others just starting out. Every time someone like you who has a platform will explain the painful details of what happened to them (what the seller did, what you wish you had known then, how you paid for the bag, avenues you explored to get money back, etc), you thwart a would-be scammer. Human nature makes us want to keep it quiet because we're embarrassed. If the ladies in the resell groups didn't share their stories with me, I would have been scammed again. They were embarrassed too. But they told their stories and educated us all.

Melissa, Sorry to hear I would have felt completely the same way you do. Hopefully the utility bag is authentic I know you really like this one. Looking forward to a follow up video.

We all can relate to your feelings, this is the reason I never considered buying a second hand bag,and here in europe we don't have companies like Real Real, or Fashion file etc.. it's your hard earned money, it's so painful ... time will heal your pain and disappointment. Take care of yourself....❤

I am so sorry it happened to you. I hate the fakes market in general but especially for that reason, that it is used to scam people. Nowadays I don’t even feel comfortable buying new bags from the big online retailers, as there is also a chance the bag isn’t authentic either. I hope there will be a way that you get your money back.

Oh no Melissa, I’m so sorry! It’s devastating, we were talking about the Utility bag the other day on one of your posts. It’s getting so hard to be absolutely certain that a bag is authentic.

I am so sorry, Melissa. Your trust was violated which is an extremely horrible feeling. Please realize this has happened to so many others’ you should not feel ashamed for being scammed; think of all the lonely people whose bank accounts have been wiped out for trusting an on line romance scammer. Look at Barney Murdoff and the many friends whose life savings vanished. Thank you for your honesty. Anita
