Description
The scammer posed as The Book Grocer (a real book store in Australia) and advertised their Book Advent boxes as being 75% off. I clicked the link to buy and the site looked relatively legitimate so I didn’t think anything of it. If I click on the link to my order confirmation now it takes me to a fake Costco website.
