Type of a scam Online Purchase

Advertising on Facebook indicates they’re selling Star Wars Lego kits for huge discounts. Clicking on the link (http://bit.ly/2URBQZW) takes you to a website called "shopmactin.co" (no "m"). There, I saw many huge Star Wars kits retailing for $399 and even $499 (Death Star) on sale "for UP TO 70% off", for $49.99. (49.99 of 499 is actually almost 90% off, so they’re incorrectly selling themselves short.) I chatted with a Lego rep who advised none of those (Mactin, shopmactin.co, merystore.co) sounded like proper distributors or retailers. I noticed a few (but not many) grammatical and syntax errors on the site, all which lead me to believe it’s just chinese forgeries. Buyer beware. Facebook should be ashamed for allowing this kind of advertising.
