just fell for it under rootsoutlets.storebut my card payment didn't go through, so I'm still hoping...
I tried to put in an order and it would not go through. Does it mean that they now have my credit card?
Yes this website is a scam and you'll receive a transaction from a company calledPRETTYPOOW 16782163267, GA or something else. Call your credit card company immediately.
I just had the same issue, I logged back in to find an address attached to my account from east India.Best check your account and watch your cc for false charges.
It is possible. Keep checking your credit statements carefully for fraudulent or unwanted charges, and report them to your bank.
How come facebook is allowing these scam ads? They show up as stories on fb. Redirects to rootoutlet.shop/shop
I keep reporting them - there are a lot of versions out there. FB does nothing.
Is Roots-Outlet-Clearance a good site to buy off of.
No. It's a scam.
What is the site's web address or URL?
rootswarehouse.co: This is a scam , just contacted Roots
Rootswarehouse.co, pretty sure its a scam , my credit card company is looking into my transaction
Yes, it is another scam.
As soon as my payment went through, I knew I had been had. They did not charge tax, and I did not get a confirmation email. I also had no confirmation of the order I just placed. The bank said I had to wait 30 days before filing a dispute. I finally did that today. And yes, I feel foolish. Those deals were definitely too good to be true.
The same thing happened to me! I thought the deals was too good to be true but I placed my order anyway. I'm feeling stupid right now but lesson learned.
I got caught up in this Roots scam too. They actually shipped "Ray-Ban" sunglasses (value on package $5.00) which I received today. not the Roots satchel that I ordered. Fortunately, I had reported it to my bank the same day I ordered it. It seemed suspicious when I received a notice that payment failed, yet I saw the withdrawal on my credit card from reliable kind. My bank has withheld payment pending further investigation.
Exactly my experience. My clue was that they spelled "store" incorrectly. "soture"
Site is back advertising on facebook as torontostore.buzz

Glad I found this. Super choked I found it because Roots had no record of my order. Grrrrr
I almost got caught today. Had items in the cart and my credit card info in place but before submitting I thought these prices are too good to be true so I checked and found this info. How easy we can be fooled. It was rootsoutle.ca.
Another one I've heard is www.rootsoutle.shop
I also got hoodwinked, thought it was a good Roots sale, and always want to shop Canadian... Initially, it said the purchase did not go through but alert to my email showed it did. Then followed by an email with spelling mistakes and a fake email and website address. Followed a link on Facebook that is no longer there to report it.
I fell for it on Monday - the charge cleared with VISA and now I have to wait for two weeks for the 'goods' that will not come before they will reverse the payment. It looked very legitimate and I foolishly thought the prices were due to low sales were a result of low sales during COVID. Feeling dumb.
Don't feel bad. I fell for it too. sure is a pain in the a*s though.
I got caught today and call my Bank
I was excited when I saw the prices on RootsCanada.shop - as they say if its too good to be true watch out. I went to Roots.ca and the prices and sales were more realistic. I am not willing to take a chance on an iffy site.
