Filson, Carhartt and LL Bean spam sites...

I would sure hate to see this, but it's possible

Presently Everything on their website is 80% off.

Note sure if it's a one-time "black Friday" type of deal or what.

Link to site removed - it was spam....

I wonder if that's a scam site? My computer won't even open that site unless I bypass the security settings.

The normal Filson sales site seems to be intact and at full price.

Outlet stores often do massive discounts to shift the last of old stock.... but always be wary of anything that seems too good to be true.

Scam

It is, and they took advantage of me.

I have a formal Dispute in with PayPal for this transaction -- the PayPal Payment instead went to: "Geraldine Smith"
I cannot believe I fell for this.

I am going to delete the site link so other's do not fall into the trap!

Turns out there is more - Carhartt and LL Bean - all being advertised with 80% off on Facebook.

Don't fall for it!!!

Dispute registered with PayPal. Sure hope we can get this all reversed.
I also reported the Filson ad as Spam to Facebook.

I have now reported all three ads to their respective companies with screenshots of each one.
I hope we can shut down at least a few of these.

Anything else to suggest?

You won't manage to shut down anything. Best case scenario you'll get your money back.
Fake RedCastHeritage site has been up for years scamming people, nothing can be done about it.

Same with fake Red Wing boots sites. They look legit, keep scamming people.

 

[Rich22]

Yikes. Always search TrustPilot for reviews... that's a great indicator.

Like many people have said many times in TFL : If something seems too good to be true - it probably is.
