🚩RED FLAG WARNINGS🚩- Site appears to be fraudulent
Clicked a link on Facebook advertising Store Closing Deals on Converse Shoes. Purchased several pairs—all priced at $19.99 and free shipping. Paid using Apple Pay. Charge went thru to to a PayPal Business Debit card. I promptly received a confirmation email. 2 days later I received a shipping notification with a tracking number. I was led to believe shipping was USPS Express (1-3 day delivery guaranteed). Since then not a word. Emails to the "Gmail email address" have gone unanswered. The provided tracking number has not been updated from Label Created, not yet in system for several days. Since then I started noticing all the little red flags that should have prevented me from pressing the checkout button. I've listed them below:
Shop is apparently hosted on Shopify
Shop is using registered domain name 'conversefactory.org' '.org' should have tipped me to investigate.
Site was only accepting Apple Pay
5 days later site is only accepting PayPal
Email confirmations are being sent via a personal gmail account
Domain name Whois shows domain was only registered 13 days ago and the technical contact number is in Iceland
