This is a great, albeit shocking find. Though none of us should be surprised that there are scammers lurking everywhere. The other day I was going to buy nicotine pouches online because they are cheaper that way, but the company asked for my social security number. Why would they need that? Of course, I left that site immediately but I’m sure many did not.
And shirts like “I grew up in Massachusetts” would be something older people would buy, and older people aren’t as tech savvy.
The possible link to extreme Islam takes this particular scam to a whole new nightmare of a level. Thanks for warning and informing us all.
Adding another layer, Facebook took our link to this story down for violating community standards, twice, but continues to allow this scam to operate in the open with impunity.
We found it really disturbing, especially given that the community standard we allegedly violated surrounded trying to "trick" people with our factual news story, but at the same time it's just one instance of the censorship people like John Oliver keep telling us there's little evidence of except in cases of misinformation, hate speech, and obscene material:

Well that’s weird and messed up.
