What I Ordered Vs What I Got: Online Vendor Caught Trying to Sell an Old Chair for N120k

  • An online vendor has blamed his camera after he sent a different photo of a couch chair he advertised online to a potential customer
  • The sofa that was originally advertised for sale looked clean and new, attracting the customer who immediately contacted the seller on Whatsapp
  • The customer asked the vendor to send a new picture of the chair on Whatsapp, but the photo that was sent was that of an old-looking chair

A potential customer declined to buy after he saw the true state of the chair he wanted to buy from an online seller.

He had seen the chair online and liked how shiny it looked, thinking it would be nice to have it in his room.
