Man Orders Drill Online, Gets Picture of Drill Instead

Ceci n'est pas une perceuse.

WOTC News tells us about Sylvester Franklin, a man in Savannah, Georgia, who ordered a drill from the online store AliExpress, a subsidiary of AliBaba, which is the "Amazon of China." Instead he received a photo of a drill. Frankllin also ordered a pressure washer and received a bit driver.

AliExpress has so far refused to refund his money. WOTC News reports that the company has a reputation for poor customer service, such as providing fake tracking numbers, as well as a history of counterfeiting.

This reminds me of how eBay sellers in the olden days used to sell "box only" item. The buyer - who didn't read the fine print - thought they were buying the item, but they were actually buying just the item's box.
