I found something more quite unsettling on Instagram a few months ago. It was a very devious site that sold very cheap electric bicycles. As far as it went, the site was all there with nice professional pictures and a shopping cart on a domain that looked legit.
My main issues were, the prices were ridiculous (like 150€ for a 3000€ bike) and that it didn't use HTTPS.
So I decided to follow a purchase and fulfill the order with a mock credit card. And as you would expect, once you click on the pay button, nothing happened. The CC went off to some server and you're left on the payment page clicking the same button.
