And here I thought that online stores that constantly have 50% off sales are just shady!

@olmitch @coolboymew bro 3 of my friends got duped by some lightsaber scam website because of that xD

@olmitch @coolboymew they showed these pictures of amazing lightsabers on the website and they all had different designs for each character. They were like 80% off or something and still $45. So they all bought them and they turned out to be all exactly the same cheap plastic, tiny rave lightsabers that changed color when you hit them on something xD they even had a strobe mode xD

When they were explaining it to me I was like oh, that's cool. I have no interest in star wars but good for them. Then the packages actually came and I was like.... Oh no xD that's when I looked at the website and it was SO OBVIOUSLY A SCAM man, I swear most people really are NPCs.

@beardalaxy @olmitch oh, was it one of those chinese scam website? I've seen such suspicious websites for figurines and exactly that, they had suspicious discounts and impossibly low prices for figurines and it was too sus

Nothing on google about them and a whois usually shows that the domain is a few months old to even a few days old

@coolboymew @olmitch yeah basically. it was like super simple HTML and the dollar signs were after the prices instead of before them. there were some other telltale signs but i can't remember it too well.

here's what it looked like though lol
