Have you ever submitted anything to Snopes?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47126points) November 30th, 2019

I submitted this to Snopes:

My DIL Found this incredible deal. We’ve both been looking for that kind of play set, and that type would be well over $1,000+.
If something is too good to be true, it’s probably a scam, so when I got home to my desk top I started doing some research.
Sneaky little bastards. They pretend they’re a company called “GETITONLINE.com.” I independently Googled GETITONLINE.com. It’s a legit company, with horrible customer service from the reviews I read, but they only sell clothes. They don’t sell play sets and generators and stuff.
I searched and searched and finally looked closely at the URL: https://924-1.myshopify.com/products/yhyewo?fbclid=IwAR0z7vNJQ1OqmXkjH1mMd9_SltuQ43gL1-Uk1uNC3CCju7FyHxvmmavz7Vw.
Then I Googled myshopify.com and was hit with comment after comment about a scam.

Just now I tried to access it again and it’s gone.

^ I have. Twice. The first time was so long ago that I can’t even remember what it was.

I’ve submitted corrections, which as far as I know were ignored.

No, I’ve been fortunate enough to find the info I’m researching already on Snopes!!!

This wasn’t there.

I don’t use Snopes to research SCAMS!!! I use it more to verify lies issued on people.

It’s the first place I go with any question, whether it’s a lie or a scam or a crazy photo or video.
