Yep, total scam site. I recently fell for a similar site, one “selling” trail running shoes that were priced way, way too good to be true. I was lucky that my bank was able to cancel payment and got me out of that mess. I was way too eager to get something for cheap and was not careful. TBH I don’t see how anyone gets away with this, but there really isn’t anything to prohibit a scammer from building and fleecing people with a somewhat convincing scam site, except maybe careful consumer research and observation (and communicating to others in forums like this, great job!). Do a little digging on that site and you’ll see strange phrasing, run-on sentences, mashed-together words, and other indicators that this is a scam site. Good luck and stay safe.

I got an ad and was seriously browsing it, but something just felt off which made me look into it more. Good one, almost got me.

Be on the lookout, folks. I nearly got got by a Darn Tough scam site. Similar naming structure. Came from a Facebook ad (reminder to report them when you see them). My friend actually fell for it and I was seconds away.
