DKSPORTINGDS/ Hoka Sale on FB

[joelbc1]

My bride received an ad this AM from Dick’s Sporting Goods. It explained they were no longer going to sell “Hoka” shoes and therefore they were offering most of Hoka collection at $20/ pr and discounting multiple prs. Of shoes. She ordered 6 pr. and we were billed $59.63 on her CC....shipping is “free”.....so apparently NOT a scam.
( However, be aware....there is another sight is making the same buy offer on shoes but they are charging $150 /shoe shipping fee! )
We are to receive these shoes in 6 days. Included were pretty much the entire Hoka selection...men’s and women’s.

Who is going to break the bad news to OP?

If it sounds too good to be true...

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Just looked and all the shoes were around $150. What website was in the email?

 

[jdw10224405]

I've seen similar ads on Facebook lately, they are scams meant to mimic Dicks Sporting Goods.

Oh OP…time to talk to your kids about taking away either the internet or your bank info / credit cards. You can have one, but you can’t have both.

Probably not a bad idea. I have seen some older folks get taken for a lot of money.

Yep, it sounds like I’m joking - I’m not.

There is a market for duping old folks like OP and his old lady. Sucks but if they wouldn’t fall for it so easy, well, the market would dry up.

Kumar, Sergey, Xi, or Kofi appreciate the donation though….

You guys, it CAN’T be a scam as they offered free shipping!!

Both the funniest and saddest part of the OP.

Six pairs of shoes?? Aren’t you in your late 70s?

It was a FB Post my bride received from “DKSPORTS”...(Dick’s)....I’m as curious as you are...figure if I get scammed, it’ll cost me $60....we shall see...so far the CC is okay with the transaction....

Yep.."but I wear Hoka and I have friends! Bought for others...had a golf buddy see the same FB notice...and he ordered 4 pr.....like I said..".we shall see.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Putin can get that new missle system now. Thanks OP and his geriatric friends

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

Yes, I guess we will!

OP needs to take an elderly financial abuse course. We knew Joel was old and senile for the most part but this is new territory of old. But you should notify your bank or card company to cancel the card. Maybe alert the CBRs of the potential stolen Identity about to happen.

There's no we shall see, you got got. No one is discounting $150 shoes to $10 and offering free shipping. Good lord. 🤣

Yep, it sounds like I’m joking - I’m not.

I understand and we shall see but so far, so good....seems like a lot of work (and risk) if it is a scam....and honestly Boyz, I have been scammed for more at one time or another.

Let's break this down:
DKSPORTS is NOT Dick's Sporting Goods
Unbelievable price for a popular product
Closeout - act now before you miss out
Free shipping - added incentive
Advertised on Facebook only, not the actual Dick's Sporting Goods website

Those should have been your first signs. Not to mention once you fell for it, it didn't even charge you the right price per pair per the post. It charged a smaller amount the credit card company is less inclined to flag and care about.

I hope that's clear now. I hate to see people get scammed like this.

OP computering.

Runners do too....we sold a ton of them to recreational runners...they were probably our best selling “runners” for several years. For folks with “older feet” they are really comfortable with a lot more variety/ color than SAS.

Oh OP…time to talk to your kids about taking away either the internet or your bank info / credit cards. You can have one, but you can’t have both.

We had to do both with my dad his last couple of years. My mom would type in the password for him and let him play games, but that was it. And she had to take away the checkbook and credit cards. She walked in one day and he was trying to find the bank account information to give a "nice man" on the phone who was going to fix the computer remotely.

Based on past posting history, OP and his wife lose all common sense when they smell a deal.

Now that is a real possibility...I didn’t order anything orange, though...

Now let’s be fair here...that really isn’t the case.

I'm sure the Nigerian Scammer has great return policies.

Scammers cleaned up in Pella today.

Here's a little advice for the 70+ crowd there.

 

[Moral]

If they get me, they get me.

I'll make you a Moral of a Hoka for $59.63. That way you will at least get something Hoka related.

 

[BrunoMars420]

Well if that’s the case I’ll send you a FB post as well with even CHEAPER Hokas from DKSPORTINGGDS. Just shoot me a DM with your name, contact info, and CC info. THANKS!!!
