The post, which was shared by u/imi0402 on Thursday, received more than 25,000 votes. An employee asked him to cancel his order due to an error in the price that was advertised and said they could get into trouble with the company if he did not.

“It’s obvious I am going to cancel it,” read the title of u/imi0402’s post.

However, many Reddit users suspected the message u/imi0402 received was a scam.

The message that u/imi0402 received informed him that they received his order, but there was an error in the price that was advertised.

“If you don’t cancel this order, I will have to pay the loss and resign from the company,” the message read. “And this is a big loss and we are not able to bear this loss, so I request you with folded hands, please. Cancel the order by , and we will be grateful for your understanding.”

Redditor u/imi0402 shared another screenshot with Newsweek in which the employee reached out again to ask that he cancel the order, otherwise he would have to quit his job.

He said the page is still active, but the listing for the swing he tried to buy is “unavailable.”

“This is the very first time I have experienced something like this,” he wrote to Newsweek.

Fellow Reddit users were on high alert, many of whom suggested it was a scam.

“Very suspicious that they’d try to talk you into canceling when they can do that themselves,” another Redditor said.

One Reddit user said they ordered an item that was mispriced and assumed they were getting a great deal, but the seller canceled the order without sending them an email requesting them to cancel it.

Some said the message appeared to be a scam because it was a message that tried to appeal to u/imi0402’s emotions.

“Avoid doing whatever they are asking,” one Redditor said. “Deal with it through official channels. Screenshot everything.”
