On Facebook under a video, there was an advertisement for Nike Air Max that I wanted to use with my sports group this Fall. I clicked the link and found the exact shoes I wanted for $140 less than retail price ($19.99). The site was https://sportsgsshop.com and had the DICK'S Sporting Goods logo (who I know and trust). I sent texts to inform my group that I found the shoes! However when they tried the link I provided, none of them were able to access the same site. When I checked the local BBB, the business was not found. Having already "purchased" the merchandise and receiving a "confirmation" email, I checked the email that was sent to me by the "company" only to notice that it was full of bad email addresses. I tried to contact the company through the aforementioned website, it took me in circles. Finally I noticed a Hong Kong location, which alerted me the most, and an old typing font which usually screams fraud/scam.
