I consider myself a pretty savvy shopper and computer user, but just last week my wife and I nearly got scammed. We were looking for a raised planter box to grow some vegetables this year. Found one online for an incredible price, from a company we've used before, Wayfair. We clicked the link and was taken to what looked exactly like the Wayfair site. Click on the product and went to the shopping cart to pay. I looked at the URL of the shopping cart and it looked quite odd--without even a hint of Wayfair familiarity. I told my wife to stop, and call Wayfair to see if we could get the sale price by phone. She gave them the SKU#. We were told they have no such number in their system, and did not even have a similar product. (I felt scammed even though we saved the day.) We sent Wayfair a screen shot of the fraudulent shopping cart page with the URL intact.
