Many scam websites are popping up pretending to be Bed Bath and Beyond. In this post, I expose a Fake Bed Bath and Beyond site and Tips to Stay Safe Online. It pretends to be Bed Bath and Beyond and sells fake products at meager prices. These online stores are not affiliated with the authentic Bed Bath and Beyond company, which is going out of business and no longer sells products online.
Therefore, it’s essential to be cautious when shopping online and to look for red flags that may indicate a website is fraudulent.
Tips to Stay Safe Online
- Check the URL: Make sure the website address matches the name of the company you’re trying to shop with. In this case, the fake website uses a different URL than the authentic Bed Bath and Beyond website.
- Look for contact information: Legitimate websites will have contact information such as a phone number or email address readily available. It may be a red flag if you can’t find any contact information on the website.
- Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true: If a website offers products at prices that seem too good, it may be a sign that the products are fake or that the website is a scam.
- Do your research: Before making a purchase, do some research on the company and the website. Look for customer reviews and check if the company is on social media.
How to Report a Fake Website
- Report the fake website to the server host via a cease-and-desist letter.
- Send a notification to the domain registrar, such as GoDaddy or Name Cheap.
- Contact and report to ICANN if the fake website uses your name or trademark.
- Report the fake website to Google Safe Browsing by pasting the URL and explaining how visitors are being scammed.
- You can also report fraud websites to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
Following these tips can protect you from falling victim to this Bed Bath and Beyond phishing scheme. Please share this information with your friends and family to warn them about this scam and help them stay safe online.
