PARMA, Ohio — Pamela Jerousek of Parma was excited about her purchase of four chairs at a 90% discount from what she thought was a going-out-of-business sale on the Bed Bath & Beyond website she found online, but her joy quickly turned to disappointment.
“It was really real like it’s really Bed Bath & Beyond; it was their colors, it was exactly as you would see it if they would advertise,” Jerousek said. “But after it says Bed Bath & Beyond, it also says 'Beyond Any Price' right at the top underneath it, so then I knew it wasn't exactly right.“ Cleveland Better Business Bureau President Sue McConnell told News 5 a growing number of consumers are falling victim to impostor websites.
McConnell said consumers need to do their homework and check on reviews for the webpage, and be aware of whether a going-out-of-business sale is legitimate.
