Your Life as Every Level of DropShipping Scammer

Four dollars. That's what an empty tracking number costs. A tracking number attached to no product, no package, no shipment. It shows picked up. It shows in transit. It shows delivered. The customer calls the carrier. The carrier says delivered. The bank sides with the seller. The customer has nothing. This is the story of a twenty-three-year-old retail worker making twelve dollars an hour folding shirts under fluorescent lights. A YouTube ad at two AM introduces him to dropshipping. The first store makes six dollars and forty cents. The second store makes fifty-eight dollars by shipping nothing. By month eight he hasn't shipped a single product in three months. Every dollar came from a tracking number attached to an empty route and a customer who gave up. From two stores to fifteen. From forty dollars in ads to eight thousand a month. From phone cases that arrive three weeks late to weighted blankets that never arrive at all. Four hundred and twelve customers across fifteen storefronts. One hundred and fourteen BBB complaints. Eighty-seven Reddit comments. A frozen Stripe account with a hundred and forty-two thousand dollars locked inside. Nobody caught him. The FTC never knocked. The FBI never came. His mom did. She texted him a link to a store selling weighted blankets. She asked if the site looked legit. It was his store. She was about to become customer four hundred and thirteen. Every level has a number. Every number has a name. The math doesn't stop when you do.
