Cop 'Em Escrow Story
How to buy a Chanel bag safely online?
Quick answer
Chanel Instagram and reseller scams demand deposits then disappear. Never pay deposits outside escrow. Use held funds plus authentication on quilting, hardware, and serials before the seller receives irreversible payment.
Customer
Classic Flap from an Instagram reseller. They want a £500 deposit to hold it until Friday. How do I buy a Chanel bag safely online?
Cop 'Em
Do not send a deposit by bank transfer. Deposit scams are rampant on social sellers. Start Cop 'Em escrow for the full agreed price, include authentication, and only release when the bag arrives and passes verification.
Customer
They sent serial sticker photos.
Cop 'Em
Stickers are counterfeited. Authentication reviews construction, not serial alone. See /services/escrow/chanel and /stories/authentication/how-to-authenticate-chanel-bag for the full picture.
