Description
It was a FB ad offering Goose Creek candles at a discount price through the Candle Discount Shop. It had lots of positive feedback from customers. I ordered some candles. However, I received an email link for feedback that contained a phishing link that my anti-virus caught. Upon further investigation, my credit was not charged. They provided a fake shipping link and their alleged address and photos are for a Yankee Candle in southern California. There is no actual Candle Discount Shop either online or in a brick or mortar shop.
