This just popped up on my facebook feed.

Just ordered the Tehechnic Porsche 911 GT3 RS 42056 for #23.99 plus $12S&H. Unless it's a scam, but if it is it's a clever one.
You should probably just go ahead and cancel your credit card now.
Hope you used a credit card so you can dispute the charge later. Even the knockoff Chinese LEGO sellers don't go that cheap. The LEPIN knockoff kit is $85: https://lepinworld.com/shop/must-have-items/lepin-20001-porsche-911-gt3-rs-orange/
But hey, no guts, no glory. If it is a scam, dispute the charge and move on. If something shows up in the mail, post it here.
You're right, I searched the site for a Lego canoe but they don't have any available :(
Those seem like some crazy prices though!
I've seen a lot of scams like this on FB of late. Lift someone's product pictures, sell it for a "too good to be true" price on FB ads, laugh. There was one with a cool electric bike for $400 that turned out to be a $4000 bike. Basically, at this point, if I see an ad for something interesting on FB, I'll go looking for it via the product name or reverse image searches to find the real source.
Scam. I almost fell for it too.
The "z." on the front of the website concerns me. Anyone know what that denotes?
Yup, you guys are right. I'm dumb. Cancelling it now.

It's a subdomain, it can be anything. It's only the suffixes that are under any sort of control/standardization. Subdomains are whatever you want. I could create a subdomain called mrasaisapoopyhead.grassrootsmotorsports.com and have it resolve to your profile. Well, I could if I owned the grassrootsmotorsports.com domain anyhow.

Me too. I had a whole cart full of stuff picked out and had just pulled my CC out of my wallet when the warning bell finally went off in my head. Quick Google of it was nothing but horror stories.
Definitely a scam.
May not be am official scam, but at the very least you just bought the chineseist Legos ever.

That almost makes it worth holding out for.
That is a spectacularly well done fake site.

I briefly thought about getting a preloaded gift card and trying.
All the complaints I found on line only received an empty bank account, a maxed credit card, and overage fees. There were never any bricks.
You'll need to log in to post.
