Description

Was scrolling on facebook on marketplace and their ad popped up for a Big Lots store closing sale. I even looked up to see if those stores were actually having to close and yes, some were in fact alot were. The prices, to good to be true I thought a 5cu ft derp freezer for 13.00?! And at the bottom it had a little trusted green sticker. So i ordered 57.50 worth of stuff and when i got the email from said store it came up as "Big Deal" that the purchase was from and if i went to " Go to our store" clickable link it would say page couldnt be found. And they even sent me tracking information. To which could not be verrified and some Japanese wording at the end. On my bank statement and it had on there PURCHASE ROMORYMSUSD.
