As I delve into this murky world of online deception, I'll take you along on my investigative journey. We'll navigate through this tangled web of deceit, blending narration with visuals of my meticulous process.

Let's shine a light on these scams and empower ourselves against future online pitfalls. Are you ready to dive in? Let's get started.

This used to happen for Coach bags previously. Coach went after these fake sites in a big way!! International laws regarding fraud need to be harsher. They are outdated!

[rainbowstarfall]

Very detailed investigation! Great work! Thank you for protecting us against these scams.

[karyannfontaine]

If it is an expensive bag, selling for a fraction of the cost, do not fall for the scam. Save for the real thing. Do not lose your money. Thank you Tanner Leatherstein for your efforts and exposing these scams.

[LoJo]

I love that the first thing that came to mind was to go rogue and try to find a hacker.

[debbieharry]

Excellent journalism. Exposing more sophisticated scams and highlighting the lack of customer care at Shopify.

[lriches]

Thank you for your integrity, investigation and video exposing these criminals!

[ellyjessie]

I love that you are spreading awareness around this topic! Your investigation was very comprehensive, great job! Thank you! :)

[watchit]

Those criminals know all the loopholes and what they can get away with.

[tanyalee]

Thanks for investigating and reporting this scam..you are incredible.

[IgnisPhantasma]

Thank you for doing this work to try and protect consumers.

[kawenthebear]

Your channel is getting better and better!!! ❤

[RandomToon]

It isn't that Shopify doesn't care about them. They care A LOT. Because they make a ton of money from them. They have every incentive to make sure they stay open.

[jessieliu]

Thank you for making the video. These big platforms just don’t care. As consumer that was scammed, we should have the right to report and get them shutdown too. I had experience of being contacted by people on Facebook trying to buy something from me and they were using a fake Facebook account and then a PayPal account for the transaction. After wasting an hour with them, I was sure they were scammers so I reported both to Facebook and PayPal. NOTHING happened. So, online scams basically face no consequences and these platforms they are using just can’t be bothered dealing with it

[AllisonWatt]

You’re one of the very few remaining people that are honest and have values. Thank you for your awesome videos!!! Always thoroughly entertained/leathertained!

[paulambart]

Tanner, great work! thank you for your hard work, time, and effort to bringing these scams to light

[loungingcat]

wow I thought this is click bait--"they should be JAILED for this... because their product is so good!" lol. Turns out they're really scams! Hopefully someone with more resources can take this on... Great investigation and love how you show it to us step-by-step!

[abrockman]

You did a great service here and your effort showed that we’re not in this alone. We can all be in this together by spreading the word that we learned on your channel and being more aware as consumers because ultimately the more people who figure out the scams and the less people who buy /that’s what’s going to take these scammers out of business

[janetr]

So many scams and scammers. It’s very distressing. I appreciate being made aware of them.

[michelebreen]

Love that you’re trying to get the criminals, at your own expense. Keep up the very good work. Huge fan 🇨🇦

[VickyRyan]

Wow amazing work and information!! Thank you for sharing !! Be aware of the scammers people
