People Who Angrily Demanded Their Money Back After Not Getting What Was Promised

27. Garbage Bag Socks

One woman ordered a pair of socks from China and received an item that was one level worse: actual trash bags. These socks meant to be slick, black, and tight in all the right places were not even disguised as anything else. The buyer’s photo revealed plastic that mirrors the black trash bags that lines your garbage bin. The only silver lining (no pun intended) is that these garbage bags look a lot easier to take off than the original airtight leggings.

It’s not always possible to tell if a product will be a dud, but there seems to be a common thread in the mishaps: many of the products are purchased from China. These socks undoubtedly resulted in customers who demanded a refund. This isn’t to say other geographies are scam-free, but it may be wise to be extra wary of items that are made or sold from outside of your country.
