📂 Online shopping fraud📱 Facebook☎️ Facebook live auction page💰 Rs. 35,000🕒 29 Aug 2026
Facebook page auctions "custom-seized" iPhones and PS5s at a quarter of market price ("custom ka maal, sealed box"). Winners pay Rs. 35,000 advance to a JazzCash account for "courier clearance". Nobody in the group ever received anything; the page deletes negative comments and runs weekly live auctions.
