I have been offered an £800 garden shed for £75 from outdoor kingdom. Myshopify.com. The advert was on Facebook and payment was via PayPal. Is this a scam.

If it is too good to be true, it is. _sigh_ It's a race to the bottom.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I foolishly purchased one of these sheds...from https://outdoorkingdom.myshopify.com/

It wasn't until afterwards I had doubts and decided to look into it further. On doing so I found several threads (on -  https://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/article/2019/9/18/outdoorkingdom-shed-sale-shed-is-a-scam-or-frau... ) stating that people had found that they had repeated transactions taken from their accounts, received no product, found that the shop is "unavailable" after purchasing and so on and so on.

I immediately contacted my bank, stopping transactions on my card and tried unsuccessfully to speak to someone in PayPal's customer service center. I have now opened a dispute and hope that I can get my money back.
