Golf Net - Ad

[Jusko]

Anyone seen the attached ad come across Facebook? Seems a little too good to be true for a full backyard net set up. Just wondering if anyone has purchased.

Yep, this caught my eye, as well. $50 bucks for a 10x10x10 cage? With the net and a mat? And free shipping? Even if it's a crap net, I thought, I could attach my quality net and it would work, amirite? Then I started to return to my senses and I googled yepplle. Website was created 10 days ago. No track record / history / web traffic stats. Sketchy. Nothing but glowing "customer" reviews on their website. Sketchier. Noticed the name is spelled "Yeplle" on their home page, but the url is "yepplle". More sketchier. Too many red flags for me. Decided to follow my gut..."If it sounds too good to be true..."

Definitely a scam. I've seen a bunch of similar ones on FB, and they do a really good job of making the site itself look legit. One was for a 20 x 13 x 12 shelter/garage for $100, which normally goes for about $600. There's usually some little hint that you can find that will expose it as a scam, exactly like what Mad Hacker talks about above.

Yep, after I posted this I went and checked the creation of YEPPLLE as well. To soon for any reviews so I stayed clear. I’m sure they would send something in the mail but actually getting the product as described would be a long shot. I appreciate your feedback so quickly.

I agree totally. I appreciate the quick feedback on this. Been looking for a good deal on one of these net set-ups For a while. This, unfortunately is not the one.
