How to avoid being scammed when buying a sex doll

Only buy from trusted and authorized vendors
The advent of the internet is described by many as the biggest revolution in the world. Not only has it enhanced convenience in how people share and receive information, but online shopping has been simplified more than ever. You can now visit an online store, browse through its products, and click to buy without lifting a finger.
However, with great power comes responsibility. The simplicity introduced by the internet carries with it a hoard of challenges. One of the greatest issues of online shopping is security concerns. More and more people report online shopping scam cases every day with a great percentage of the reports resulting in financial loss.
The sex doll industry is a great example of a hotbed of scammers. Ask me why-  it’s an entirely online shopping business with very less human contact. Scammers are ready to pounce on unsuspecting victims any time of the day, as soon as an opportunity presents itself. And with the worldwide appreciation and acceptance of sex dolls, these get-rich-quick swindlers are more than ready to tap into the growing market.

So, how do you go about avoiding the scammers, especially if you are a first-time sex doll buyer? We’ll look into some of the tips that will help you identify a scam before you become a victim. And with the speed at which the swindlers are becoming creative in devising new ways to prey on you, it important that you learn how to cope up.
There are two major forms of scam you are bound to experience when buying a sex doll. The first one involves getting a subpar sex doll that does not match the one you ordered. This is one of the most common forms of scam where the seller deceives the buyer using flashy images on the website. Once the buyer gives in, the delivered sex doll does not look anything like what was ordered. The disparity may be in terms of the appearance, the materials used, the size, among others.

Probably the most disappointing among the two, the second scam happens when the buyer goes through a website, picks a sex doll, and pays for it but never receives it. The seller puts up a website with unauthentic images of sex dolls, maintains a rapport throughout the transactional phase, and goes offline as soon as you make the payment. Quite heartbreaking. Don’t you think?
Scammers are everywhere, and anyone can be a victim. And regardless of the form of scam, prevention is better than cure. So, before you become a victim, here are some of the tips on how to avoid being scammed when buying a sex doll:

Research The Sex Doll Seller
This is the most important part of any online transaction, and it involves looking up to ascertain the legitimacy of the seller. Is the seller genuine? Are there people who have bought sex dolls from the company before? How was the transaction? These are some of the questions the probe should answer. To know more about the seller, you’ll have to:

Examine their website. Probing the website involves a number of things. One critical area to look into is the URL of the page. Is it a HTTP or HTTPS? The latter means your profile and financial information are encrypted and secured from third party interception. In addition to this, check to see whether the company’s name is included in the URL. Most scam and imposter sites do not have the company’s identity in their URL.

Examining the website also involves looking into the clarity of the information and images. Are the images vague and distorted? How precise is the information provided on the website? Most scam sites will have conflicting information and images that appear unauthentic.

Look up for reviews. The reviews will help you establish the reliability of the seller. And being that the sex doll industry is an entirely online affair, you can Google search the company and see what comes up. Be on the lookout for customer experiences and product reviews. How well did the customers like their purchase? Obviously, don’t expect everyone to be happy, but if a large percentage of the people are not happy with the company, just walk away.

Research the Product
Carry out a background check about the specific sex doll that you wish to purchase so that you can have a rough idea on what is acceptable and what to expect. Also, check out the competitors and what they are offering. Researching the product helps you know the quality to expect as well as the price range.
On the quality of the product, it’s very important to learn about the different materials used to make sex dolls and the pros and cons of each. Here are some of the common materials used to make sex dolls and their features:

Medical-grade Silicone- non-porous, hypoallergenic, and durable in the long-run.
TPE- Porous, squishier than silicone

By researching and learning about the different materials used to make sex dolls, you can be able to identify a scam website if there’s a disparity between what you know and what they are advertising. The information also allows you to be a step ahead when you contact the seller, as you can ask important questions about the dolls.

In addition, learning about the price of the sex toy from the competitors gives you a clue about what is reasonable and what is too good to be true. Scammers usually promise the best at half the price which should be a red flag. If the average price of the same sex doll is 2-3 times that which you’re being offered, run!

Call The Love Doll Seller
Calling the seller is another important step towards identifying and shunning away from scammers. Not only does it help you confirm the genuineness of the contact details provided on the website, but it also provides you with a chance to ask important questions. Remember to ask about anything that you feel hasn’t been addressed on the website and counter-check to establish whether the seller knows what’s on the website. A legit seller should have all the information on the website in their fingertips. They are the one that wrote it anyway.
While on the call, ask about the entire process between ordering and delivery, the timing, and photos of the sex doll you should expect. Don’t be afraid to ask any other question you might have. The seller should be able to address all your queries and concerns at this point.

Contact The Sex Doll Brand
Reach out to the specific sex doll brand and check whether the seller is authorized or not. The brand will be more than happy to share this information with you as they wouldn’t want you to suffer under the hands of a scammer, as this would, in turn, harm their brand. If the seller is authorized, well and good – you can carry on. However, if they are unauthorized, run!

Look into the Payment methods
This is probably the most important part of the entire process and one that the swindlers are most interested in. Normally, a legit seller will offer a variety of payment methods to meet the diverse needs of the customers. So, make sure you buy from a seller who accepts multiple payment methods. I’d recommend paying through PayPal, it offers security for your money. On payment still, make sure the quality of the sex doll matches the asking price- value for your money.
Also, make sure to understand the manufacturing process, shipping times, if you are going to receive photos before shipping, etc.

Talk to a close friend/partner
As the saying goes two heads are better than one, it important to have the opinion of a friend or partner before making the purchase. The opinion or experience might help make the right decision on who to buy or not to buy from. Also, if you’re buying the sex doll to enhance your bedroom escapades with your partner, you need their input, so that you can enjoy the purchase, even more, when it’s delivered.

What to Avoid at All Costs.

Deals that are too good to be true, the price is too low
Unauthorized sellers, sketchy websites, no trusted reviews, websites that promise amazing deals but have no history on the internet or don’t reply emails, chat, etc…
Aliexpress, Alibaba, Amazon, eBay… yup! even these popular and legit websites most times have fake listings and scammers that only last a few weeks or days, they basically copy or steal photos and ship very low-quality products, we have seen many cases of customers and by the time they receive the product or want to complain the seller is “Missing In Action”…
