Advertising 6 items for £42 yesterday! Just too good to be true

There are a lot of ads on Facebook at the moment touting Seasalt reductions of 80% off- but they are not by genuinely by Seasalt. They are by a copycat site which uses photos of the outside of Seasalt shops, pictures of genuine Seasalt goods and references to Seasalt Cornwall. However they are scams, just after your details, probably from the same stable as the scam "M&S 90%-off sales" that nearly caught me a few months ago. Make sure that anything you order really IS from Seasalt. malwaretips.com/blogs/seasaltcornwallsale-shop is a warning about them. Seasalt themselves also have a warning on their website.
