I was sent an Instagram link by a trusted person, advertising Joann Fabrics’ closeout materials, sewing machines, etc. I knew that the retailer had gone out of business earlier in the spring. I clicked on the link which was set up exactly as the Joann website. I ordered sewing supplies from the site, providing my personal information. When I received email confirmation, it included cheap jewelry in the same amount and unit prices as the sewing notions that I had ordered. The company was listed, ironically, as ROOB ([email protected]). The confirmation email appeared to come from PayPal, though my actual PayPal account shows no activity.
