I'm really unsure where to post this one... The Moss Bros home page has listed loads of items at a crazy discount... socs for 95p and cashmere scarves for a couple of quid. but when you click through the items are on full price or a (much lower) discount. This is so blatant I'm confused by it. Has anyone else seen this? It feels borderline fraudulent to be honest....

    On social media by any chance as it is a common scam to mimic a real shop or business and where it is actually a scam or Far east site .

    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

    The website you looked at would be useful.

    Well done though for checking before parting with your money.
