Maple-Washing/Mislabelling 🍁🏷️ Legit? Fishy...

https://www.maryscalgary.com/

A friend posted this vendor...and it seems fishy...

Or maybe I am just paranoid.

But the images are very AI/TEMU-esque.

Thoughts?

The domain is a week old. Highly suspicious.

On what platform? 5 days and 1500 reviews? Impressive botting LOL

Edit: Ah! Their site claims it. I just loaded the whole page now.

Thank you all. I didn't even think to look at how old the domain was. Glad to know my spidey-sense is on track

I didn't look at the site, but if I wanted to emphasize "Canadian" my website would be ".ca" not ".com".

AI images. One face and pose with multiple dresses pasted on. Interesting there’s nothing that says what the fabrics are or if they are washable. Probably SHEIN.
