E-commerce platform Shopee is currently being investigated by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) due to the complaints about Shopee's BLACKPINK meet and greet event. Shopee initially launched a promo where fans can attend a meet and greet session with the famous Korean pop girl group, BLACKPINK. In Shopee's contest mechanics, it stated that customers must shop a minimum amount of PHP 4,000 worth in Shopee to be eligible for the promo. Before the event, customers expressed their anger at Shopee over Twitter where the hashtag #ShopeeScam began to trend. In numerous tweets, customers detailed that Shopee had notified them of winning tickets to the event however, the tickets were then recalled by Shopee, stating that there was a "system error" and the supposed 116 winners received the wrong information. The agency is also investigating reports of Shopee allegedly changing the contest rules without informing the DTI. According to Ronnel Abrenica, head of the DTI's Trade Enforcement Bureau, Shopee could be held accountable for changing the contest rules and could also be fined PHP 300,000 for each customer deceived by the promo. Shopee is holding a Super Gadget Zone Sale on various gadgets in their online platform with up to 99% off select products.
