Scammer promising pink blueberries leaves buyers empty-handed
2026-04-08
Have you ever seen pink blueberries before? Recently, an online scammer has been impersonating a farmer claiming to have such fruit, posting photos showing a bountiful harvest and even inviting people to come pick them in person. A fair number of people actually transferred money to buy some, only to realize that they had been scammed. And when they confronted the scammer, they were berated and blocked. Actual farmers are also bearing the consequences.
These trees are covered in clusters of pink blueberries, huge and enticingly plump. The ad also says you can pick them yourself. It seems like a tempting offer, but turns out it’s all a lie.
Voice of Ms. Yuan
Scam victim
It seemed a little suspicious they had pink blueberries, so after seeing the post, I searched on Google to see if such a thing even existed. The post even included a real location for pickup. They told me it was paid on delivery and I only needed to pay the delivery fee. But after I paid for that, they said there was something wrong with my account.
After hearing the seller say there was something wrong with her account, Ms. Yuan realized it was a scam and refused to keep following their instructions. The seller then got angry and sent nasty messages before blocking her. Real farmers have also been victimized in this whole ordeal.
Ms. Chan
Farmer
Customers sometimes go through a third party that collects a fee from them, but doesn’t actually help them make a reservation. So when they arrive at the farm and we check their booking details, they’re not able to enter.
Mr. Huang
Farmer
We’ll tell them they’ve been scammed, then provide our link. We’ll also report the case to police.
But if you want pink blueberries, there’s still hope. They apparently really do exist.
Mr. Huang
Farmer
They’ve been introduced to Taiwan before. They’re called “pink lemonade blueberries.”
This scammer exploited people’s curiosity to try new things. It’s crucial to think twice before buying something as enticing as pink blueberries to keep from falling into their trap.

假的! 詐團偽裝果園業者“粉色藍莓詐騙"
2026-04-08
您有看過粉紅色的藍莓嗎？最近網路上有人偽裝成果園業者，貼出粉色藍莓大豐收的圖片，歡迎民眾到現場採摘，就有不少人真的匯款了，才發現遭到詐騙，沒想到，質問對方之後，還被詐騙方怒嗆，接著封鎖被害人，至於真正果園的主人，也遭殃。
樹上一顆顆粉色藍莓，又大又飽滿的果實，讓人看了垂涎欲滴，還主打可以親自採摘，讓人看了好心動，但沒想到根本是一場騙局。

“粉紅色藍莓其實是還蠻有疑點的，但是在看到這篇貼文當下，我有先在Google搜尋，有沒有真的有類似的產品，再加上那篇貼文上面，還有寫著真實的面交地點，他跟我說產品本身是貨到付款的，然後唯一需要支付的只有運費，在我匯完款運費之後，他就說我可能帳戶有異常”
聽到對方說自己帳戶異常，當事人立刻警覺是詐騙，不願再依照對方指示操作，詐騙集團竟然還惱羞成怒，怒嗆、封鎖被害人，而受害的還有真正果園的主人。

“(民眾)可能透過第三方(預約)，那個第三方就幫他收一個入園費，可是沒有實際幫他做預約，那就會造成它來園區的時候，我們會幫大家核對一下你的預約資料，那他可能就沒辦法進來”

“我們會跟他說這個是詐騙，然後會再貼我們的(連結)，包括我們也有去警局做報案的動作”
不過想吃粉色藍莓的民眾也別失望，業者說，其實真的有。
[[業者 黃先生]]
“我們台灣人好像之前引進的，把它稱為粉紅檸檬水藍莓”
詐騙集團抓住民眾好奇、想嘗鮮的心態，一步步讓人落入陷阱，購買前還是要多想想，別讓荷包失血。
