How to Avoid MacBook Pro M4 Max Scams on Lazada

Misleading Variation Pricing: Scammers may list a MacBook Pro M4 Max with an attractive base price, but when you select specific configurations (like higher RAM or storage), the price inflates drastically and inaccurately, or the advertised price is for a drastically inferior product. Always scrutinize the price breakdown for each variation before committing to a purchase.

Fake Tech Support Calls: Be wary of unsolicited calls claiming to be from Lazada or Apple support, especially if they state there's an issue with your MacBook Pro M4 Max purchase. They may try to gain remote access to your device or request payment for fake services. Lazada and Apple will not contact you for such reasons unsolicited.

Empty Parcel COD Fraud: While less common for high-value items due to tracking, be aware of sellers who might ship an empty box or a completely different, low-value item when Cash on Delivery (COD) is selected. Always inspect the package thoroughly in front of the delivery person before signing off.

Non-Functional Item Return Block: Some scammers might send a defective or used MacBook Pro M4 Max and then create obstacles for returns. This can include providing incorrect return addresses, claiming the item was damaged by the buyer, or making the return process intentionally difficult through customer service.

Fake LazMall Impersonation: Scammers may create fake storefronts that mimic official LazMall sellers or reputable electronics retailers. These fraudulent shops often use stolen logos and product images to appear legitimate. Always verify the seller's authenticity by checking reviews, their shop history, and looking for the official LazMall badge.

Brushing (Fake Review) Scams: While this scam typically involves sending unsolicited products to generate fake reviews, be cautious if you receive a MacBook Pro M4 Max you did not order. This could be an attempt to create a false transaction history. Do not engage with such shipments and report them to Lazada.
