Scam Description

Got an ad on instagram for Marine Layer with super discounts (80% off). clicked and shopped and during checkout I noticed the website looked funny (“shoping” instead of “shopping” in the address) and also the way the payment info had to be entered (usually I get a applepay option, but this site wanted me to physically type in my CC number. That in addition to the steep discounts gave me pause. Didn’t go through with the transaction, but googled and found that someone else had experienced this.
