    Funny Gear Scam Sites

    Just found this scam site that supposedly sells discounted salomon gear: https://www.salomonline.com/

    Every item in the store is on sale for $80-100 regardless of the original price.
    Adding an item to your cart spurs notifications of other "people" who just bought the same item.
    Free shipping is offered right off the bat (alternatively you can choose "express" shipping for $19).

    Anyone found any others?

    When I hit that link my computer had a conniption fit. The site looks phony as hell.

    There are lots of these sites out there right now.

    If the deals seem to be good to be true, they probably are.

    Always worth double checking here or with a quick good search before plopping in your CC info.

    Any sight that starts a timer when you put items in your cart.

    Got directed from google right to the page with the item I wanted and behold! It’s on sale!

    Go through the process of filling in my address until it redirects me as per usual to PayPal to pay - which then indicates I’m about to be sending money to some random person named Jenna. Back away slowly and close out of PayPal. Go back to site and look at other items - airbag packs for $100!

    IF you find one of these sites you know is a scam you can report it here.

    The more people that do the quicker these things get taken down

    Bigagnessales .com for tents. The prices are too good to be true, several people on reddit have purchased from them and once they sent the money not a word was heard back. Scam.
