Screenshots of Vinted listings circulating on social media show products being offered for a fraction of their retail prices.
The suspected stolen merchandise was listed after looting in France.
Vinted told The Telegraph it had taken immediate action to identify and remove listings connected to the violence.
Resale websites including Vinted have removed suspicious listings after they were flooded with apparently stolen goods in the wake of riots that swept across France.
Perfumes, designer handbags, cosmetics and even Pokémon cards have appeared on second-hand marketplaces following a weekend of violence that saw shops ransacked, The Telegraph — which, like Business Insider, is part of the Axel Springer Global Reporters Network — reported.
Screenshots circulating on social media show products being offered for a fraction of their retail prices, including bags overflowing with Sephora cosmetics advertised for as little as €10 (£8.40).
The listings have triggered suspicions that looters are trying to sell stolen goods online. eBay and Vinted have removed some items and stepped up their monitoring of suspicious activity.
One advert on Vinted showed six Sephora lip glosses being sold for €15, while another offered six tubes of cleansing cream for just €12.
Sephora France sells comparable own-brand lip glosses for around €13 each, meaning six would ordinarily cost around €78.

Other listings included Christian Dior perfumes advertised for €250 and large quantities of make-up still in their original packaging.
In one case, Pokémon trading cards allegedly stolen from a shop in Lille were advertised on Vinted, with some still bearing their original price stickers.
Hundreds of cards were reportedly found scattered across streets in the northern French city after a fire at Le Coin des Barons, a shop specialising in collectable cards.
A trophy said to have been stolen from French e-sport club Team Vitality was advertised on eBay for €1,250.
The silver StarLadder Counter-Strike trophy was photographed against a graffiti-covered wall and listed under the title: "STOLEN RARE VITALITY CS2 TROPHÉE."
Team Vitality confirmed that its Paris premises had been looted during Saturday's unrest, with trophies and computer equipment stolen and display windows smashed.
The listings emerged as France struggled to contain some of its worst civil unrest in years, caused by anger over the cost of living and deteriorating public services.
More than half a million people joined demonstrations on Saturday, with violent clashes breaking out in Paris, Marseille, Lyon and other cities.
French authorities said more than 2,400 people had been arrested by Sunday, while nearly 1,000 police officers were injured.
The unrest has spread beyond France, with demonstrations about living costs and public spending also taking place in Belgium, Portugal and Italy.
French retailers have been left counting the cost, with supermarket giant Carrefour reporting damage to 50 stores, including 20 that were looted.
'We have zero tolerance for it'
Sephora closed its French stores on Saturday evening and kept them shut on Sunday after several branches were ransacked.
Vinted said it had taken immediate action to identify and remove listings connected to the violence.
A spokesman said: "The sale of stolen goods, or soliciting them, is strictly prohibited on Vinted, and we have zero tolerance for it."
The company said it had stepped up monitoring and would take action against offenders, including permanently banning accounts. It added that it was working with law enforcement and French authorities to identify suspicious sellers.
An eBay spokesman said: "The sale of stolen property is strictly prohibited on eBay."
The company said it used technology to identify suspicious activity and worked closely with police to investigate criminal behaviour.
The spokesman added: "If we receive confirmation from law enforcement that an item has been stolen, we remove it immediately and take action against the seller."

Labor laws didn't exist at the time, and furnace temperatures often exceeded 100 degrees. A total of 47 men died with Wormwood as their boss, and even Wormwood himself lost his life in the furnaces when he slipped and fell into the iron ore, causing his body to melt, Travel South USA reported.

The Waverly Hills Sanatorium started as a one-room schoolhouse in the late 1800s. The Board of Tuberculosis Hospital later purchased the land and built the sanatorium, which opened in 1910 as a small quarantine for tuberculosis patients.
The large building that now stands abandoned was built in 1926 to meet the need for a larger facility; the sanatorium could house over 400 patients, according to its website.
Waverly Hills was its own community, complete with a ZIP code, post office, and water treatment facility. Everyone in the sanatorium — patients, nurses, doctors — was cut off from the outside world. It closed in 1961 after the discovery of an antibiotic that cured tuberculosis.

"While the story makes for a great Halloween horror tale, it is not true," the Detroit Historical Society states on its website. "George Mason died in 1948 at 91 years old in his home in the Wilshire Apartment building on Grand Boulevard."

On December 6, 2022, hours before facing Switzerland in the last 16 of the Qatar World Cup, Portugal coach Fernando Santos summoned Cristiano Ronaldo to his room at the team hotel. “I explained to him that he would not start that night because he lacked match rhythm, and he took it badly,” the coach recalled. It was the trigger for a crisis that four years later still consumes time and energy at a federation that has failed to promote an extraordinary generation of talent without subordinating it to the contradiction of playing for a footballer who achieved greatness thanks to his dynamism but is now 41 and has long struggled to move around the field.

Biblical Introduction in Honor and Devotion to the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, May 31, 2026 whe this article was originally published in Italian version
Jesus Christ to the Apostles (Gospel of St. John, 14:11-21)
“Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe it for the sake of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. If you love me, you will keep my commandments. I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever.”
“The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come back to you. In a little while, the world will see me no longer, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
Religious Terrorism in the Holy Land Prophesied by the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem
«The Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in the Holy Land affirm before the faithful and the world that the flock of Christ in this land is entrusted to the Apostolic Churches, which have carried out their sacred ministry for centuries with unwavering devotion. Recent activities undertaken by local individuals promoting harmful ideologies, such as Christian Zionism, mislead public opinion, sow confusion, and undermine the unity of our flock».
In light of the religious terrorism practiced daily by the IDF under the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Lebanon, where Christians represent nearly 40% of the population, unlike in Palestine, where they are a minority that even before the vile and inhumane genocide was less than 2%, the words written by the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, Theophilos III, appear truly prophetic.
“Such initiatives (Christian Zionism – ed.) have found favor with certain political actors in Israel and elsewhere, who seek to advance a political agenda that could harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and throughout the Middle East.”
The Persecution of Christians in Lebanon and Palestine by Netanyahu’s Zionist Regime
To confirm the validity of these statements, simply read the exclusive investigation by Gospa News titled “RELIGIOUS TERRORISM IN THE HOLY LAND. All the Crimes of Netanyahu’s IDF Against Christians (Dossier & 10 Videos)”.
For those who are unaware of the persecution of believers in Jesus Christ carried out by the Zionist Netanyahu, thanks to the international military support of US President Donald Trump, a Protestant Presbyterian but increasingly close to the most extremist pastors of the American Evangelical Church, please read the article before proceeding.
The Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III
Theophilus III’s statement, although published on January 16, 2026, received very little attention in the West for the simple reason that, despite being signed and attributed generically to the “Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches of Jerusalem,” it was published only on the Cyrillic and English website of the Orthodox Patriarchate of the disputed holy city, but, as far as we can tell after careful research, not on that of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem of the Catholic Church, whose heroic regent is Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa.
But I was extremely pleased to find it in retrospect because it represents a highly authoritative confirmation of the alarm, reeking of heresy, highlighted by Gospa News.
It may seem paradoxical, but I was able to uncover it only through research on the website of the Qatari Islamic TV station Al Jazeera, one of our important international sources on the wars between Israel and the US in the Middle East.
Before analyzing the reason why the Catholic Church’s Patriarchate of Jerusalem has not given it prominence, we feel it is our duty to clear the field of any responsibility on the part of Cardinal Pizzaballa. He is one of the very few Christian voices in the world, among all denominations, with the courage and candor to speak the truth “like a voice crying in the wilderness,” mindful that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, dead and risen, is not only “the WAY AND THE LIFE, BUT ALSO THE TRUTH”(Jn 14:6).
Precisely for this reason, he suffered the terrible humiliation of Palm Sunday when the Israeli police prevented him from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to attend the Solemn Mass, which was forbidden to the faithful for public order reasons and reserved only for the shrine’s clergy.
This is why the words of Orthodox Patriarch Theophilus III about “Christian Zionism” as a threat to Christianity seem prophetic to us: because they were confirmed in a subsequent report on Israeli human rights violations specifically directed against followers of Christ.
“Sacred Scripture teaches us that ‘we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another'”(Romans 12:5). Claiming authority outside the communion of the Church harms the unity of the faithful and burdens the pastoral mission entrusted to the historic Churches in the very land where our Lord lived, taught, suffered, and rose from the dead,” the statement reads.
“The Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches also note with concern that these individuals have been officially welcomed, both locally and internationally. Such actions constitute interference in the internal life of the Churches and a disrespect for the pastoral responsibility entrusted to the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches of Jerusalem.”
The statement from the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem states, implicitly referring to proponents of “Christian Zionism,” such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who promoted it in a public meeting with evangelical pastors in Florida, the U.S. state where President Trump lives.
“The Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches of Jerusalem reaffirm that they are the only ones to represent the Churches and their flock in matters relating to Christian religious, communal, and pastoral life in the Holy Land. May the Lord, Shepherd and Guardian of souls, grant wisdom to protect His people and safeguard His testimony in this sacred land,” concludes Theophilus III.
Nostra Aetate: The Vatican’s Original Sin on Freemasonry and Zionism and the Root of Catholic Freemasons
Why has the Catholic Church failed to heed this alarm raised by the Orthodox Church, at least for appropriate reflection and ecumenical debate?
For the simple reason that, as we explained in our previous historical revisionism investigation, “FREEMASONRY & ZIONISM – 6. The License to Kill of the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN”, stems from the Conspiracy on the Heretical Aberrations of the Catholic text “Nostra Aetate,” it was the Second Vatican Council itself, with an ambiguous and ominous document, that effectively legitimized all religious worship, paving the way for the Great Architect of the Universe, idolized by Freemasonry according to a deistic conception of the Natural Divinity, opposed to the theistic vision, both Christian and Muslim, of the revealed God.
In light of the anti-Christian tendencies of contemporary society, which have found concrete expression in preventive wars unleashed in the form of genocide by Zionist leaders like Netanyahu and Trump against three monotheistic nations: Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran, it seems truly inevitable to identify the Pagan Deity of contemporary false religions in the fallen angel Satan.
Yet despite this, the Vatican itself, as we have highlighted in previous investigations, is teeming with cardinals we can easily and hastily label “Catholic Freemasons,” given that they are no longer ashamed even to publicly demonstrate their veneration for the Lodges of the “Hooded Ancient Masons,” excommunicated by Leo XII!
Among the pathogenic germs of this diabolical and perverse para-theological syncretism, the new WORLD VIRUS has found fertile ground, capable of infecting so many souls with arcane and fallacious metaphysical seductions that it now appears to be a SPIRITUAL PANDEMIC.
It facilitated a highly dangerous alliance between Catholics and the Zionist Political Movement, which, to legitimize the creation of the State of Israel, barricaded itself behind extremist interpretations of the Talmud, the condemnation of anti-Semitism, and constructed its own religious deviance, bitterly contested even by Orthodox Jewswho are most observant of the Torah and the Tanakh.
Let us briefly recall that the book of the Torah is equivalent to the Judeo-Christian Pentateuch, the Tanakh to the Old Testament, and the Talmud is the transcription of oral laws often altered by the ancient Israelites according to the customs of their time.
And therefore, according to Tel Aviv’s false narrative, they are not part of that social process aimed at eliminating Orthodox and Catholics in favor of Anglicans, who, being among the founding fathers of the Church, are among the founding fathers of the Church.
Freemasonry, have supported and allowed the Zionist Political Movement to gain control of the global financial system, especially in the field of military armaments, as we have seen in the investigation “WEAPONS LOBBY – 20.”
Today, this alarm of mine may seem like that of “one who cries in the wilderness,” and it would even risk appearing “anti-Semitic” if I had not repeatedly clarified that Zionism is a socio-political deviation from the authentic Israelite religion and that I feel so devoted to Judeo-Christian culture that I have no problem affirming my orthodoxy toward the biblical, Jewish, and Semitic tradition of the Covenant with God, confirmed by my circumcision.
The Medjugorje Prophecy of Satan Freed from Chains
However, it was confirmed by the warning message launched by the Patriarchate of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, but above all, it is in perfect harmony with some apocalyptic prophecies of Medjugorje, such as the one from January 1, 2001, a few months before the September 11, 2001, attack on New York, which occurred amidst the vile international plots of the CIA (USA) and the MOSSAD (Israel).
“Dear children, this evening, in a special way, I wanted you here. In a special way, now that Satan is freed from his chains. I invite you to consecrate yourselves to my Heart and to the Heart of my Son.”
Why would the Queen of Peace, who has been appearing at the shrine in Bosnia-Herzegovina since June 24, 1981, as recently partially recognized by the Vatican, have warned us if it were just a massacre like so many in ancient, medieval, and contemporary history?
Precisely because it is part of a plan of diabolical global conspiracies aimed at altering human and especially Christian spirituality, which I described well from a historical investigative perspective in a previous investigation of ours into a former director of the Central Intelligence Agency who played curiously murky and occult roles in the Twin Towers attack, as well as in the war in Ukraine and the laboratory-generated SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Biblical and Christian Prophecies on the Synagogue of Satan, False Religion, and Antichrists
But, above all, from a metaphysical, soteriological, and eschatological perspective, this New World Order conspiracy was well-foretold by at least three fundamental Christian and Marian prophecies:
and finally that of the French nun Melanie Calvat, seer of La Salette, on apocalyptic disasters, Antichrists, and the Church of Darkness, which we will publish as soon as we have gathered all the material needed to interpret it from a contemporary perspective.
For now, we invite you to read the article published on Christian Renaissance(the website of the Gospa Edition network I founded, test in Italian available in English with machine translation) on the life of this itinerant nun who traveled between convents in France, England, and Italy, precisely because she was inconvenient for her dire predictions about the evil drift of many members of the Catholic clergy…

Sister Maria della Croce, as she was called after her vows of co-construction, when she was near death while being hosted in the French parish of Diou (in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region), expressed a final wish that takes on the significance of a withering warning:
“Feeling the end of that long and tormented life approaching, Mélanie said she did not want to “die among the Freemasons,” so she wrote to a friend, Rosa Giannuzzo, to contact her former confessor, Father Alfonso Fusco, so that he could find her a place where she would not be known, so that she could live out her last days in hiding.”
He then passed away in Puglia, in Altamura, taking with him the secrets of the Antichrists that the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church was reluctant to hear and spread… Just as today, in every Easter rite of renewal of baptismal vows, in almost every parish it is preferred to recite only the CREED, but the tradition of adding the RENOUNCEMENT OF SATAN has almost died out.
