Items at lower-than-normal prices, especially if they’re hard to find or sold out elsewhere, could be a scam.
Fraudsters offer items that are fake or don’t exist and may make you feel rushed into a decision by telling you someone else is interested.

Fraudsters know how to create a site that looks good, with offers that pull you in.
