I responded to a professionally looking Facebook ad that came up in my feed for 511 Tactical. I’ve been a customer of the National franchise business over the years. The add was for 1000 product testers for one of their products (tactical vest with plates). To qualify you had 9 boxes (game screen) you had 3 picks to find a box that contained the product. On my second selection I picked a box containing the product. This was a VERY PROFESSIONAL and legitimate looking. After selecting the right product it took to a screen showing the product, congratulating me on the win and saying the product would be shipped but I needed to pay for shipping ($7.00) it took me to a payment screen where I input credit card, ship to address info. After I did that it then said you have been “successfully entered into the drawing for this product” At first I thought, hey this ad is deceptive because it said I won the product not that I had to pay to be entered into a drawing for the product. I received an email showing my address and phone information asking me to confirm my information and respond to a phone number or their email at [email protected] I became suspicious, googled the address and found information that this is a scam.
