Cencosud fraud complaint
On the other hand, Cencosud added details of how these types of crimes operated.
“Once they place an order through Jumbo.cl, at the time of being contacted, and knowing that the operation will not be paid in full, they take advantage of the purchase method described above,” the company said.
