I thought this may be legit because I know Fox just closed the outlet store in Gilroy, CA but I believe this is a shadow website that is a scam.  It pops up every couple of weeks then goes back to some other type of casual clothes.  Terrible it gets through Facebook’s screening but I’m not surprised.  Anyone else see this or know how to prevent folks from getting scammed (assuming I’m correct it is a scam)?

1. awareness. You are here.  

2. self control.  Don't click it

You can tell by the website address it’s legit.

If it sounds to good to be true, it is.

The fox store at livermore CA outlets closed before Christmas.  Everything was heavily discounted. Sadly, they had a bunch of miss matched jerseys and pants. 

I got two pairs of top level boots for $400.

Fox are closing all retail outlets apparently

Store closing sale with a picture of now hiring sign in the window.

To hell with online betting on supercross, I clicked on it and now a prince is going to pay me for depositing a large check just because he's stuck at the embassy!

First clue should have been that it's on "Farcebook"

Whenever I see crazy ads on Facebook, I usually put the url into Whois.com, and it tells you stuff like who owns the site, where registered and how long it has existed. Most times the site is like a day or two old and owned in China. 
 

this site was created on 3/18/24, and uses a .top in place of the real sites.com

I report EVERY ad I see on Facebook as violence, sexually explicit, misleading or scam, or offensive. You'll never see that ad again. After a while, you'll start seeing a lot of weirdos paying to promote their ramblings and holy shit it's weird/sad...
