A young woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, shared her experience on social media, warning others about a potential scam.

The woman, who had fallen victim to a similar scheme a couple of years ago, immediately recognized the signs of a scam.

The incident serves as a reminder for shoppers to be vigilant and cautious of strangers approaching them with seemingly harmless compliments. The video has garnered significant attention online, prompting discussions about similar experiences and the need for increased awareness of such scams.
