Sneaky Shanghai Fashionista Scams JD Mall, Orders Designer Goods and Returns Fakes
Mar 20, 2015 By eChinacities.com

A sneaky Shanghai fashionista scammed the well-known site JD Mall by purchasing luxury goods, replacing them with fakes, and returning them back to the company. JD workers first noticed something strange when the women, Miss Zhou, often ordered thousands of yuan worth of designer goods only to return them within seven days for no reason.

JD suspected that the returned items had issues but had no evidence. The company opened an investigation and started testing the returned products. Miss Zhou had bought and returned 20 luxury items from JD Mall, costing the company 190,000 Yuan in losses.

JD contacted the police with their gathered evidence. The police first hypothesized that Miss Zhou had been reselling the designer goods on another website. However, Miss Zhou's neighbors revealed that she frequently wore designer clothes and carried a design bag and always seemed to have new clothes and accessories.

The police went to Miss Zhou's home and met up with a courier from JD who had just come from Miss Zhou's house. She had just bought and returned a pair of Tod's shoes. The returned shoes were tested and it was found that they were fake. Investigators then raided Miss Zhou's designer stash and seized shoes, bags and accessories from Dior, Prada, Tod's and more. The most expensive item she had was a Dior bag worth 24,000 Yuan on JD. She had bought a fake version on Taobao for only 400 Yuan and sent it back in place of the real bag. Miss Zhou is currently being held by Shanghai police for her crimes of fashion.

Why would they use the word 'fashionista' instead of thief? It must stem from China's desire to overuse the word fashion in as many ways as possible.
