Tricks are used in the gen z to avoid having to pay for your purchases. Smaller retailers complain that the digital shop theft of Generation Z is difficult to complain about and that they cannot do anything about it.
In particular, certain influencers show on social media how to use certain tricks to undermine the terms and conditions of digital shops in order to steal purchases or get your money back. And that despite the fact that many of the gene explains that they have big problems going into a real business.
In the United States, this “trick” has become known as a digital shoplifting, from which two generations in particular benefit: generation Z and the millennials.

Influencers show how to take advantage of the small print in shops
What kind of trick is that? With complaints such as problems with payment, occasional delays in the delivery or even claim that they have never received the product, users make users the automated system of shops such as Amazon or Temu to reimburse their money and keep the package.
In a recently carried out study, 50 % of the wealthiest members of Generation Z admitted this type of fraud.
The fraud control company Socure carried out a study in which she asked more than 2,000 Americans of Generation Z. The Magazin Fortune reports on this. About half (50 %) with an annual income of more than $ 100,000 admitted to using the small frauds last year to get a free product.
However, how big the topic is shows something else. Influencers, who consciously bring providers with such meshes, have almost 3 million viewers on Tikok and other platforms: to explain how to take advantage of the small print in shops, are undeniably and beyond the numbers. The influencers advertise their tricks as “try out this secret Amazon hack!”, And ask viewers to take advantage of Amazon’s customer service.
Users of the “tricks” are rarely punished
Another problem is not only digital theft, but also, another: Such behavior is hardly or only rarely punished: Ori Snir, head of product management for fraud and identity solutions at Socure, told Magazin Fortune.com:
In the best case, the person remains unpunished and gets it undorated, which often causes them to do it again. Another possible result is that the contestation is rejected and the customer ultimately has to pay for the purchase. In the worst case, the customer’s account is blocked so that he can no longer buy from this dealer.
Then the blocked user is looking for another shop where he can continue to use his tricks.
More about gen z: HR managers were asked who the work is particularly difficult with. And Generation Z explains that their own peers are most difficult. Almost half (45 %) find their own generation difficult to lead and would like other employees: Generation Z has become bosses and the first thing they do: they complain about how young people work
