Type of a scam Online Purchase
I found this site while looking for a rare NFL jersey involving someone no longer with the team. Because the standard security checks hold true (site was built using PrestaShop, a competitor to ***, which uses CloudFlare) it didn’t set off too many red flags, other than the site name looked weird. Luckily my credit card issuer declined the charge.
Additionally, I contacted the legal team at PrestaShop and am awaiting a response.

Type of a scam Online Purchase
There is a MN Vikings jersey shop at www.vikingsshop.us that advertises on FB and lures people in by marketing namebrand jerseys at 65% – 85% off retail. When you "pay" for items in your cart via CC#, you receive an email to return to the site and confirm your payment. There are several shady things about the site and follow-up: no business address, no contact phone number, only email contact, broken English in emails, they admit to thier company address as being in China, spelling errors throughout the website, some broken English through the website, the "IP Host Address" listed at the bottom of emails is a business located on the east coast and the gentleman who answers the phone reports to multiple calls recently inquiring of jerseys. Overall, the online purchasing procedure is not "normal".
