How to be wary of low price traps in camera lens shop?

Be alert to the low price trap in camera lens shop and pay attention to the following points:

Products with prices significantly lower than market prices should be approached with caution

If the price of the product is much lower than the market price (such as a camera labeled as 4600 yuan that is actually 4000 yuan cheaper), there may be fraud risks such as mismatching the product and passing off inferior products as good. Some merchants attract consumers by offering low prices, but may actually replace them with inferior products or falsely ship them.  ‌

Be wary of payment requirements from informal channels

If merchants induce consumers to make offline transfers (such as bank transfers, WeChat Pay) under the pretext of "platform unable to receive payments", they need to be highly vigilant. This type of operation is usually a scam tactic, and after payment, it may not be possible to trace the transaction dispute, and even encounter a situation where the goods and finances are both empty.  ‌

Verify the authenticity of product information

Before purchasing, it is necessary to confirm that the product model, color description, and actual condition are consistent. Some merchants induce consumers to increase their prices by switching concepts (such as changing "R62" to "R8"), ultimately resulting in consumers paying thousands of yuan more. It is recommended to verify product information through official channels to avoid being misled by false advertising.  ‌

Sign a written contract to clarify rights and interests

If it is necessary to purchase through informal channels, a written contract should be required to be signed, clearly indicating the product specifications (such as lens brand, model), price, after-sales service, and other terms, and specifying the liability for breach of contract. Verbal commitments should be included in the contract attachment to avoid disputes without evidence.  ‌

Retain transaction vouchers and protect rights in a timely manner

Keep chat records, payment receipts, product description screenshots, and other evidence during the transaction process. If encountering incorrect products or false advertising, you can first negotiate with the merchant for a return and refund; If negotiation fails, it can be resolved through consumer associations or legal channels, but it should be noted that the period for safeguarding rights may be longer.
