Morning folks,
There was a '50% off using code' post published yesterday in OzB for WatchFactory.com.au.
The deal was on for few hours. Looked legit to me. Did a whois is ausregistry and found a registered ABN (63612770788).
So I proceeded and bought a couple of watches.
Now when I searched for the deal today, I found out it was unpublished advising 'sockpuppeting'.
I'm a bit worried now and wondering whether the site is a sham/fraud.
Just wondering if anyone has any previous experience dealing with this site, or if anyone aware of similar hoax.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
The code was: TH1SISUNRE4L
