My son bought some trainers on Vinted. After some time they were yet to be dispatched. They sent him a shipping label to make out they'd been sent, but the process never moved beyond 'We're expecting it' on Royal Mail, which means it was never handed to courier. However, the label had a return address on it, which was:MPAY-UK Warehouse
Unit 15
Frankley Industrial Estate
Tay Road
Frankley

The account on Vinted was then closed.

Hi, did you end up receiving it and was it fake the item?
Hi I was the same! I ordered Ray Ban sunglasses and got the same label sent to me as if it was being posted. Now that Vinted has buyer protection I got my money back no problem. A pair of (fake) sunglasses arrived about a month after and the seller wanted me to pay the money via a bank account (provided sort/account number) I advised I would not be paying and would return the glasses if they provided return costs. Received a veiled threat about knowing where I live and that their noted address was fake. As a police officer I advised them I could have them traced via their bank details. Funnily enough, no further messages received! Complete scam!!
