Reduce scam

A other scam report, targeting a consumer in Charlotte, NC, USA - 28277.

Narrative evidence

What happened

I went and looked up the name of a coffee tumblr on Google (Reduce Aspen Tumblr) and I saw that it looked like they were having an end of season sale, so I clicked on the website and immediately added the cup I wanted to my cart, as well as a couple of other items (the tumblr was originally $25 and it was on sale for $5…I know that should’ve been a red flag but I was really excited). When I checked out and clicked place order, it said my card was declined. I thought that was really weird, so I tried my credit card, but that was declined too. Then I clicked on the web address and it didn’t even make any sense. So I went back to Google, scrolled down and found the real website. Thankfully, I bank with Capital One and they will not process transactions from flagged websites.
