Fraud on the Internet is nothing new. But I believe I did have a new encounter yesterday.
While browsing in the Google app on my iPhone, I ran into an ad for the Samsung 990 Pro 2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD that had a lowest price of $95. I was intrigued!
I clicked it...and again, that first entry looked interesting!

4TB!! For $95!! That's crazy!! Did someone make a typo?

The details look right. . . but why does the page has Adorama on it? I know that is a legitimate camera shop who do sell storage devices as well. But who is skxhnvn.shop?! That's not ADORAMA!

Oh, well. Looks like it's actually some entrepreneurial soul in Chengdu -- a lovely city in the Sichuan Province, China.

I have been receiving calls about package delivery, messages from strangers pretending to be a long lost acquaintance, This looks like a new one.

I guess I could report this to abuse@west.cn . . . but do they really care?
