This situation is very troubling and probably happens more than we think.
What's more troubling is people getting joy from other people being scammed.

I can't read comments anymore, if anything remotely bad happens to someone wealthy or with luxury goods people love to say horrible things. I didn't read the article yet, but based on the title they're wealthy, but not everyone that owns an Hermes bag is wealthy, plenty of people work their buns off and save to own one. No one deserves to be taken advantage of, it's incredible.

I feel really bad for the ones who truly think they bought the real thing. But to the ones who actually knew, even if they just suspected in the slightest bit that it may be a super fake and still bought it? I say boo hoo to you, it's your time to be exposed.

I hate the thought that if you didn't do enough research you deserve to get scammed.
No one deserves it . Not everyone is so familiar with the research necessary, or might just be very trusting unfortunately.
And just because someone is rich they don't deserve scamming either.

It's unfortunate that everyone who wants to buy an H item isn't a member of Purseblog. They could learn everything they need to know to safely buy a H bag both new or preloved. But if you don't know, you just don't know. Rich or not, it must really hurt to get scammed, especially when it's a bag you have been dreaming about getting.

I especially feel horrible for the buyers who thought this seller was a trusted friend.

Or perhaps for the person who "thinks" they know all there is about Hermes & just simply doesn't
want to learn or know anything more
Knowledge is power.. but many will just look the other way & want to be in that H club at any cost!
