Scam Description

The ad was on Pinterest for a going out of business 90% off sale for Joann. The ad took you to a site that looked very much like the official Joann site, and with our local store looking like it’s going out of business soon I fell for it. I didn’t realize it was a scam until I already made three purchases.
