My son bought some trainers on Vinted. After some time they were yet to be dispatched. They sent him a shipping label to make out they'd been sent, but the process never moved beyond 'We're expecting it' on Royal Mail, which means it was never handed to courier. However, the label had a return address on it, which was:MPAY-UK Warehouse
Unit 15
Frankley Industrial Estate
Tay Road
Frankley

The account on Vinted was then closed.

Hi, did you end up receiving it and was it fake the item?
Hi I was the same! I ordered Ray Ban sunglasses and got the same label sent to me as if it was being posted. Now that Vinted has buyer protection I got my money back no problem. A pair of (fake) sunglasses arrived about a month after and the seller wanted me to pay the money via a bank account (provided sort/account number) I advised I would not be paying and would return the glasses if they provided return costs. Received a veiled threat about knowing where I live and that their noted address was fake. As a police officer I advised them I could have them traced via their bank details. Funnily enough, no further messages received! Complete scam!!

Just ordered something off vinted and had all this. Been blocked already. Will be using this to come back at them when I have the same issue then!
Ive just ordered a pandora charm. Same address so im guessing it will be fake or not arrive.
They're at it again. I bought something, was sent the postage receipt but the tracking number didn't exist. Seller was then blocked on Vinted. Will have to wait for Vinted automated help bot to get back to me about a refund.
I just had the same, ordered a vinted item and I got a label almost instantly with this address on listed as JBD warehouse. The seller was then blocked. I have raised with vinted, thank goodness for buyer protection.
I have the same with some boots
Just bought some boots off vinted and was sent a suspicious postage label at 3am with this address attached so guess I’ve been had too! At the time the account only had a couple of listings up so didn't think much of it but when I came back there were loads of very obviously fake ones. Noticed another account that was pretty much identical so reported them both. Will just have to wait for the buyer protection refund, how annoying!

Same here, label appeared instantly and also a message saying despatched. Same return address. Funnily enough account was blocked by 5am just 30 mins after purchase. Its showing as on the way at the moment so when i contacted vinted I was told to wait 25 days before i could do anything. Thanks fo the tip, ill be using that statement too.
