Clubhouse Golf - fake Facebook ad & website

[Hobbit]

There’s an ad on FB, with a link to a website, saying Clubhouse Golf are closing and are selling their stock off at a silly price.

Clubhouse Golf are not closing.

A set of Mizuno irons for £87 kinda gives it away.

I must say the whole thing has been put together very well, even to the extent of using pictures of actual staff who work there.

Google, Facebook etc are dealing with it but if you are making a purchase check you have the right site.

Don't be so sure. I've reported a fake Sports Direct site to Facebook, multiple times.

Each time they come back a say no guidelines have been breached.

If it's too cheap to be true, it probably is.

Probably selling better gear than SD.

Social media websites seem not to care what they're advertising, as long as they get paid.

Exactly.
