"Loro piana" instagram scam

[A bottle of Red]

Just a warning to be careful about instagram scams.
An ad popped up seemingly from Loro piana offering their popular summer charm sandals and mules for a ridiculously low price.
I was shocked and curious since even the full price listed was less than what LP's website usually lists.
So I checked their website directly and the website name is different than the instagram page; the shoes are not listed for that low price and finally if you look very closely where the sole meets the shoe you can see differences.

But they're very similar and the logo looks so close, it's easy to get scammed.

Please check carefully.
The blue on the right is the direct Loro Piana, the black on the left is from Instagram.

Yep, you should always pay attention to the address of the website you're on before buying anything or entering any logins or passwords. There are lots of these scam sites masquerading as the genuine online stores, selling anything from t-shirts to heavy equipment.

You can report the ad and hopefully, it will be taken down.

I can't find the ad again but it's scary how similar it looked

Yes, sadly, these scammers are quite good at what they do. Sites like that do get reported and eventually get taken down. There's not much that can be done about it, unfortunately. Those sites pop up like mushrooms after rain.
