ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) – The Better Business Bureau has issued a scam alert Friday regarding fraudulent sales of kid’s toys under the alias littletikes.hidiscount.club.
The bureau says the business has operated under several names which include Little Tikes Whole Sale Club, Little Tikes Save A Lot Store, Little Tikes Discount Online Store, and Little Tikes Save Money Store.
The company has an F grade with the BBB, with 28 complaints being filed since the business opened in 2019. Most of the complaints against the bureau haven’t been answered, according to the BBB.
The company uses Facebook ads to promote large discounts on Little Tikes toys to get customers to their site. The company uses online payment systems like PayPal to conduct transactions.
A BBB investigation found that the address on their website is fake and is an empty parking lot in Roanoke. The website is registered in Panama but all other information is private. They’ve used email addresses such as do*************@gm***.com, se*****@ha*******.club, and se*****@wh********.club.
BBB urges consumers to remember these tips when shopping online to avoid getting scammed:
