Description

I was shown an ad for LUSH on Facebook that marketed a cyber week deal for the holidays. I noted to my spouse that prices on my phone seemed significantly lower than when I viewed the real LUSH cosmetics site on my computer. He said sometimes sales are different on mobile phones. I picked out about $100 of items. I entered my name, email address, home address, card number, security code for my card. When I checked out, I received a pop up window from VISA asking me to verify my purchase with a code to my phone number associated with my card. I found that out of the norm. I looked more closely at the website on my phone and typed the page as it was into my computer browser. It was different than the website for the real company. The logo appeared slightly blurred on the fake site. The blurred logo was not apparent on my phone screen like it was on my computer screen. I immediately contacted my bank to cancel my card. I do not know if attempts were taken to withdraw money from the account in the time it took to cancel the card. My spouse moved money to a different account in the meantime.
