Scammed on Instagram

We have all had a time where we have been scrolling on instagram and saw an ad for something that almost seemed too good to be true. Normally this should set off some red flags in your mind about the legitimacy of the offer. Unfortunately this was not the case for 12 year old me. I saw the offer to get brand new nike shoes for only 20 bucks and I jumped right to it. Clicking on their sketchy website and plugging in all of my information including my address and email and phone number. Thankfully I didn’t have access to a credit card at the time so I used a visa gift card that I had received for my birthday. I submitted the purchase and waited for the shoes to arrive at my front door, however that day never came. Morale of the story, if something you see on the internet seems too could to be true, it is likely because it is.
