Total money lost $50
Type of a scam Online Purchase
An ad came up on Instagram promoting North Face gear up to 80% off. I found a great coat with a great price, and when I purchased the coat I suddenly realized that I was charged for shipping when the page advertised free shipping. I was given a tracking number through a third party payment provider and was able to track my package. When the package arrived, I discovered I had been sent a pair or glasses instead of the coat I ordered. Upon going back to the website, I discovered that there was no way to contact the company or return my item. They hadn’t sent me a direct order confirmation from their own website or given me any way of reaching them.

This website came across my Instagram feed as a sponsored link, advertising North Face products 70-90% off. After scanning the website and looking over all of their stipulations, something simply did not seem right. I contacted a representative on North Face’s website asking to verify their vendors, to which after sharing the link with the rep I was alerted that this is a scam.
