Description
After clicking on a Facebook ad for athletic shoes for $29.99, I saw that this vendor created a website pretending to be Dicks Sporting Goods (DSG) and used their logo. However, they were using the website <www.dicksportingsneakers.com>. This website fairly convincingly copied the style of DSG. They were appearing to sell shoes marked down from about $160 to $29.99. I looked up the website domain name and saw it was just created about 1 month ago on May 24, 2024 and is registered to a PO box in Colorado, not in Coraopolis, PA where the real Dicks Sporting Goods is located.</www.dicksportingsneakers.com>
