''You gotta play the sucker to get the sucker''.lol.
A man
who paid $227 to buy two crocodiles online that he planned to cook, was shocked
when he received two photos of the reptiles instead.
The victim surnamed Wu,
reported the scam to police in Weihai, Shandong Province, after he placed an
order for two 12.5-kilogramme crocs, Shandong
TV reported.
Wu told the police that he
contacted the private seller after seeing the ads on the video app, Kuaishou.
Police said the man and the vendor discussed his intent to eat the reptiles in
detail.
“The
seller even taught Wu how to cook them,” said Weihai police officer, Zhang Jie.
But the buyer realised he
had been fooled when a small plastic bag arrived four days later containing two
identical photos of the reptiles he thought he had ordered.On the back of each
photo was written “25 jin.”
The seller has since
refused to give Wu a refund, claiming he had “fulfilled his request,” Jie said.
