Inflatable Water Slide Scam and Fake Online Stores
Inflatable Water Slide Scam and Fake Online Stores

Summer is almost a month away and scammers are already taking advantage of it by creating fake online stores claiming to sell inflatable water slides. The fake stores steal pictures of waterslides from legitimate websites. The fake stores then attract potential victims to them by claiming to sell the same inflatable water slides for ridiculously low prices. But, once the victims make a purchase, they will never receive the water slides, although they were charged.

Remember, once something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Therefore, I recommend shopping on popular online stores, or research other stores carefully before making purchases on them.

But, if you are a victim of a fake Inflatable Water Slide store, open a dispute with your bank immediately. Provide your bank with as much information as possible. Your bank will investigate and refund your money, if they have determined the store is fraudulent.
