Therefore, it is donating products from beauty and only charging the delivery fee. The other day, Boatos.org debunked a story related to a new scam in Internet. Through Facebook ads, a message pointing out that Renner stores would close and donating products began to spread. It was a coup. Today, the story involves another brand: Sephora. According to texts circulating on the internet, Sephora would be closing stores because of the Covid-19 pandemic and donating beauty products. The only thing that the person would have to do was go to a website (which has nothing to do with with the company), enter data and pay a “delivery fee”. Read the message circulating online: _“A sad day for US and our Customers”, they say, because “due to the pandemic will close 500 stores around the world. From now on, focus on sales online. From now on, only the delivery fee will be charged, and products unsold beauty products (premium brands) will be donated._ ## Will Sephora close stores and donate beauty products? Unfortunately, the message has spread widely through online advertisements and it is possible that has fooled some people. However, it is not true that there is any donation of Sephora products due to the pandemic and no “only” charge of the delivery fee. As we said at the beginning of the text, this is a scam very similar to the by Renner. The modus operandi is this: someone creates a fake ad on Facebook, people get interested, go to the site, enter data, pay the “delivery fee” and… they receive nothing. And therein lies the secret: the intention is, through a fake website, profit from delivery fees and not deliver the product. Proof that this is a scam is on Sephora's official page. As you can see, there is no action described in it nor the ad (at least in Brazil) that stores would be closed. In short: the story that indicates that Sephora is going to close and decided to donate beauty products is fake. This is a scam that has already circulated using the name of Lojas Renner. Our advice is, if you see an ad like this, report. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.
