I am concerned about the legitimacy of a online store,

Hello,

I recently encountered advertisements on TikTok for a Shopify store called “The PC Vault” (thepcvault.myshopify.com) that advertised extremely low prices, which piqued my interest. To verify their authenticity, I conducted reverse image searches on some of their TikToks. Disturbingly, the results showed that the images originated from Amazon reviews dating back two years. Further investigation revealed that another image also came from a different website. When I scrutinized their store, I discovered that every single image had been taken from the internet, with some depicting completely different specifications than those listed.

Given these findings, I strongly suspect that the store may be engaging in deceptive practices.

please see pictures:

this picture was on their website,

this on another website,

and if we scroll down the page, you see the exact picture. many of the listings are the same.

ok, thank you

Well done @heathhol2012 the store is definitely not one set up with good intentions, great work searching for the images as that made it easy to catch them. Have you been able to make the reports to both Shopify and Tik Tok yet?
