Facebook scams

Facebook is full of scam stores like this one:

What makes me think this is a scam?

A reverse image search with TinEye shows the image of the coat on the left was taken from NoraCora.com. See? It's the exact same image
It's from last year, so Nora Cora isn't selling it anymore, but Nora Cora does have clothes with the same cool vibe.

This is what scams like this do: they steal images from legit online stores, collect money from customers, close and then reopen under a different name to start the scam all over again. 

It's best to treat every store that you don't know that advertises on Facebook as a scam. Sad that this is the case, but it is. Better safe than sorry.
