Fell Twice for Fake Brightroom Websites

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I am ashamed to admit that in the span of the past two weeks, I fell not once but twice for websites impersonating the furniture brand Brightroom (whose products are legitimately sold by Target), and got scammed both times. Luckily, my bank did a great job of blocking the fraudulent activity and getting me a new card, and I didn't lose anything, but this was definitely a learning experience. From what I can see on this sub, it is known that there are several fake Brightroom sites, so I just wanted to report a few of them here. As far as I can tell, these are all FAKE: homesbrightroom [dot] com brightroominc [dot] com brightroom-online [dot] com Both of my experiences were on the first one. I attempted to check out and was told I would get a code sent to me to verify, but never did. Then, around a week later, I had fraudulent activity on my debit card, and the purchases were made using the email I'd used on the fake Brightroom site. **As far as I am aware, Brightroom does not sell direct-to-consumer, and their products can only be purchased from Target**. I've definitely learned my lesson here, but hopefully this helps someone else as well and these sites can get taken down.
