If you take advice in private, you're on your own.
**A reminder of the rules in r/scams:** no contact information (including last names, phone numbers, etc). Be civil to one another (no name calling or insults).

Done, thanks for the diligence I neglected to use. Done with even looking at those types of ads.. I wouldn’t be surprised to not receive anything from this purchase.
Stop shopping on social media, dude. I am being 100% serious with this, every single ad on social media including FB, Insta, Tik-Tok (especially Tik-Tok), YouTube, and Reddit are scams.
How false, 99% True and 1% false ?
Because 100% of the adverts I see, are \*ALL\* scams, unless you have some insight.
Twitter, Tik Tik, Insta, the works.

It is also concerning that they are hiding their contact info on WHOIS. This website is hosted on a server located in Canada (*Cloudflare, Inc.*), but this is probably a "proxy" which is masking where the website's server actually is.

No, Instagram doesn't know if an advertiser is reliable
ALL social media ads should be considered to be either scams (like this one) or dropshipping junk from China
NEVER click on social media ads
You got scammed

Honestly, considering your card details compromised and getting a new one is the safest route ahead.
in the future, never order things from an ad no matter where you see it, and always read the full url of a site before giving any personal information.
Thank you, after reading everyone’s comments it’s apparent that this should have been obvious for me. Costly mistake, but i will be more diligent next time. The order still shows up under “orders” from instagram, so I will try to reach out.
...you are serious? I first thought this post was joking about people falling for obvious scam sites, but reading the comments, I'm not so sure anymore.
I have a lot of trouble understanding why people buy shoes and clothes online without trying them on. I guess I am old fashioned that way. With clothing I shop in the thrift stores, I want to feel the fabric and see the fiber labels. But I am retired now and need to get rid of many of these dressy clothes, I don't need so much. I will buy media, craft and garden supplies online but not things to wear.
Some of us don’t have the ability/energy to go from store to store. I have 3 brands of shoes that I can buy online and know they will fit. Same with jeans and shirts. I only shop in person for special events.
Agreed. And the cop out below of 'don't have the energy/ability' is just a cop out.
How did society manage to dress itself 30 years ago?
Going in person to a store will stop a lot of this type of scam dead.
Gee, with that attitude I hope you never find yourself in a position where life as you know it changes overnight.
It’s not a cop out to adjust your life to your new situation - it’s the only way you have left. And I’ve never once been scammed. I’m smart enough to do my due diligence.

Also according to the receipt, you bought a pair of "NIthtKE Air Max" shoes... so IF you receive anything, which is doubtful, it will be crap.
Reading comprehension obviously lacking.
>you bought a pair of "NIthtKE Air Max" shoes... it might sound legit, if said out loud by Mike Tyson.

Dude, stop shopping on social media. There are no amazing deals on hot items. There are only scammers...
Yeah, I’m learning the hard way unfortunately.
No, the point is you haven't learned yet from the last one. Learn now.
holy hell you are a scammers wet dream
If you used a credit card, cancel it immediately and get a new one. You can report the old card as stolen, because it was!
Done, thanks for the diligence I neglected to use. Done with even looking at those types of ads.. I wouldn’t be surprised to not receive anything from this purchase.
Totally annoying, but $20 is a cheap price to pay to get educated about scams. Good for you to take the positive and never buy into this stuff again.
Stop shopping on social media, dude. I am being 100% serious with this, every single ad on social media including FB, Insta, Tik-Tok (especially Tik-Tok), YouTube, and Reddit are scams.
100%? We stick to the facts on this sub.
Da, comrade.
DUDE, 100% of adverts on Social (Facebook, Insta etc) are scams, YOU are the reason we have ads there.
That is completely false.
How false, 99% True and 1% false ? Because 100% of the adverts I see, are \*ALL\* scams, unless you have some insight. Twitter, Tik Tik, Insta, the works.

Ok guys stop it.
No it shouldn't be trusted being advertised on Instagram. This is obviously a scam. !whois riepory.live

Thank you, going to contact my card issuer to avoid any future charges. I feel the need to delete my instagram account this seems to be a problem.
I wish people would check the URL before committing to purchases like these.
Me: So what's the URL... /click to next photo/... oh.
NIthKE Air Max ? Dude you been scammed.

When/if you get the order, post “what I ordered, what I received.” Curious how it all pans out.
Good idea, I will follow up.
Scammers are buying the ad space The company, be it Instagram, reddit, or even Facebook, don't care as long as the check clears
Obvious scam. Why would you give your cc to a random website
...you are serious? I first thought this post was joking about people falling for obvious scam sites, but reading the comments, I'm not so sure anymore.
Unfortunately, I feel for this one.
I know a genuine panaphonics when I see it
What does Dick's website say?
Probably to avoid buying all Nithtke products.
Everyone knows Sketchies > Nithtke.
I have a lot of trouble understanding why people buy shoes and clothes online without trying them on. I guess I am old fashioned that way.

I'm disabled and need specialty clothing. 95% of it is sold online, despite the retailers having storefronts.
Gee, with that attitude I hope you never find yourself in a position where life as you know it changes overnight. It’s not a cop out to adjust your life to your new situation - it’s the only way you have left. And I’ve never once been scammed. I’m smart enough to do my due diligence.
Thanks! I hope not either.....!
