Be careful out there guys scam alert!

I was looking for a Milwaukee M18 circular saw online. It was about $100 bare tool only on Amazon.
Thought I'd look on Google.

Wow! Ditirces $69 with a charger and 5AH battery.

Sounds too good to be true.

Wow Shipoiun $73 same as above but ALSO with an M18 Sawzall

Ho! Wow, Whalegot $58 for the same stuff as Shipioun

Hmm, those threee websites sure look similar..................

Yes, it's obviously a scam, but how do you report these people to Google so that they can at least take them down from their "shopping" tab?

Be careful out there guys, if it sounds too good to be true.....well, you know.

Ditirces, Shipoiun, and Whalegot....
Who comes up with this Chinese word salad?

Why do people even look at sites that have names like that

Now you know why you STILL see news reports of people being swindled.

PUT AWAY THE INTERNET, PEOPLE. If you can't touch it first, don't buy it.

These things pop up left and right now more than ever. Someone just has a template made and changes the domain and logo.

They’re not after the money they’re charging. The thing is about data harvesting, finding people with credit cards and such.

Or just don't be an idiot. I am perfectly happy ordering tools and parts online
