Product swapping scam in Egypt

How it works:

• You pick and pay for a product you want. The merchant claims to get you a new piece and then passes you a sealed, polythene bag.
• You open it and find that it has been swapped to a knockoff version of the item, or certain parts may be missing.

Places to beware:

• Anywhere

What to do:

• Always check your product before/after payment.
