I will never, ever buy anything off a Facebook ad. Even if it says Amazon, don't click on the ad, go to Amazon and search it up.

Bowser actually just sent out a notification of another site doing the same thing.  The scam website lists Bowser trains for sale but doesn't have anything, and the Bowser logo they used was actually ripped from a Mario game.
