Scam questions after customer sent home with orange instead of chestnuts
Scam questions after customer sent home with orange instead of chestnuts
2026-01-09
A person recently bought some roasted chestnuts from a vendor outside of a department store in Kaohsiung. But when they opened the package at home, what did they find but a single orange inside. The annoyed customer went online to ask if a chestnut vendor can even count as a scammer. That same day inside the exact same department store, another customer grabbed a few boxes of expensive imported strawberries, but only paid for a box of cookies at the checkout.
Small black stones toss around with chestnuts in a roasting barrel while the vendor cracks each one to make them easier to deshell. The smell draws you in, even from across the street. But when one customer brought home a NT$150 bag from a stand in front of a department store in Kaohsiung’s Zuoying District, they were in for a surprise. Inside weren’t chestnuts, but one single orange.

It’s ridiculous. So silly. They got scammed.

The vendor probably just wasn’t careful. They sell chestnuts. How come there was an orange?
We went to the vendor in question, but they weren’t there that day. So we asked other chestnut vendors if the orange could have gotten into the bag by mistake.

I also find it hard to believe. Maybe his mind was elsewhere while he was working. He only recently started selling here again. There have been long stretches he didn’t come before. He’s only here sometimes, not often.
But it wasn’t all squared away inside the store, either. On the same day, a supermarket employee found out that a customer filled their shopping bag with expensive imported strawberries and cherries, but when they checked out, they only paid for a box of cookies.

It’s too much. You shouldn’t do that. It’s several thousand dollars’ worth of stuff.

Our station has yet to receive a report about this matter. We’ve already contacted the store and asked that they come to the station to file a report. We are already reviewing surveillance footage and working to identify the woman in question, who will then be arrested on suspicion of theft.
An orange for a chestnut outside of the store, and boxes of strawberries for one box of cookies inside. People online are wondering just how outrageous this story can get.

傻眼! 買糖炒栗子"打開竟是橘子" 民眾PO網:被詐騙了嗎
2026-01-09
有民眾在高雄一間百貨公司外購買糖炒栗子，不過回家打開，卻發現裡面居然裝著一顆橘子，讓他超傻眼，直呼連糖炒栗子都可以詐騙了嗎？同一天在同一個百貨公司內，則有一名顧客在超市內，拿了好幾盒草莓裝進自備的購物袋，結帳時只拿餅乾結帳，直擊的店員直呼實在太扯了。
黑色小石子加上砂糖，與栗子一起放在機器中轉動，老闆拿工具敲敲敲，方便客人撥開品嘗，糖炒栗子的香氣瞬間撲鼻而來，遠遠的就能聞到，不過有民眾在高雄左營區一間百貨公司外，購買了一包150元的糖炒栗子，回家打開來卻傻眼了，因為裡面放的不是一顆顆小小的栗子，而是一顆橘子。

“很傻眼，就很誇張啊，詐騙。”
[[民眾]]
“我覺得應該老闆是不小心吧，他賣糖炒栗子他怎麼會裡面放橘子呢？”
實際回到百貨公司外找找看，網友說的這間糖炒栗子，並沒有營業，其他詢問同樣販售糖炒栗子的業者說，可能是不小心拿錯了。

“我也很不可思議啊，可能那個老闆他做生意，精神沒有放在這邊他不知道啊。他最近才剛出來擺，他以前很長一段時間沒有出來擺，他偶爾出來擺，他沒有常常擺。”
不只百貨公司外有狀況，百貨公司內也不平靜，同一天就有超市人員發現，一名顧客從入口處開始拿了好幾盒草莓，裝進自己的購物袋，途中還拿櫻桃等等商品，但結帳時卻只結了一包餅乾。
[[民眾]]
“有點太誇張了，不應該這樣子做。拿了幾千塊的東西。”
[[高市警左營分局新莊所副所長 呂和霖]]
“本分局尚未接獲相關報案，已聯繫訪查當事人，請其至所完成報案程序，警方刻正調閱監視器畫面，積極查明該女子身分後依竊盜罪查緝到案。”
百貨公司外買栗子卻拿到橘子，百貨公司內直接竊取草莓不付錢，網友直呼沒有最扯，只有更扯。
