Description
All looked legit on meta ad with a plea to buy wool slippers claimed to be made by a family farm on the brink of bankruptcy in Oregon. Asked for purchase of merchandise one type of slipper (only sold in womens sizes) to help reach $12k fundraising goal. Also encouraged donations too. Got an email confirmation --see attachment. Realized something was suspect though and saw BBB filing by another consumer this same entity and solicitation was a fraud. Was able to stop payment before transaction fully processed. Looked very legit so beware! Dont buy anything through Meta ads without doing your homework!!
