I just got a sponsored ad on Facebook of a shop named ‘Maud, kildare’ shutting down so all the goods are going at 50% discount. When I looked at their website all the products looked like it’s from Amazon and on a search I just found out it’s the same products from Amazon priced twice or thrice the original value. This scam might be not about any products at all, they might use the credit card information to loot your account.

It’s on the journal too – https://www.thejournal.ie/discount-clothes-scam-ireland-facebook-instagram-meta-ads-6485948-Sep2024/
I’ve been getting loads of them on instagram – Faisean Dublin, Dublin Heritage Leather and the like … all suddenly closing down despite years of fabulousness.
Murray’s Kildare was the first one I saw. Called them out on Facebook and actually got a response, asking me to take down my post!
Loads of them on Instagram. One I thought was a scam so looked up their website which said nothing about closing down. But their instagram linked back to the closing down.
So I’d no idea
Been getting ads from these shops for a while. Knew they looked dodgy
There’s a name for this isn’t there? Dropshipping or something?
My mam got caught. A shop also named something Kildare. Clothes arrived absolutely not what they looked like. Want to return them? Send them to China
