Has anyone seen/heard of the current Wayfair trafficking conspiracy?

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 11/07/2020 14:59

It's all over Facebook and Twitter if you just search #wayfair

Does anyone think there could be a shred of truth to this or is it conspiracy theorists going into overdrive? Confused They are/were selling cabinets for tens of thousands of dollars and they had the same names as children who had gone missing fairly recently...

It sounds vat shit crazy but you need to give us details, not expect us to look for the info.

I would imagine those over priced cabinets were smuggling something but not children.,

RyanBergarasTeeth · 11/07/2020 15:06

Ive heard something but havent read into how they come to the conclusion wayfair is smuggling children. Surely the name thing is just complete coincidence.

It's more bollocks than a field full of bullocks. Snopes has totally disavowed it.

They assumed child trafficking because of the price of one shower curtain. Rather than a typo on the website like everyone else would think. Bet their local store is all out of tin foil.

I did wonder why it was trending this morning.... like all conspiracy theories it's crazy.

VettiyaIruken · 11/07/2020 16:31

Not heard anything so I googled it.

A shower curtain for 9,999 and some expensive cabinets = child trafficking.

Couldn't possibly be an error or glitch of course 🙄

The person who came up with this needs a mental health assessment. And that's not me being rude. I mean I'd seriously be checking for some sort of episode or breakdown and getting them some help.

Maybe they were joking (I hope).

GoshHashana · 11/07/2020 16:38

When the dark web is available for trafficking, I'm not sure why anyone would need to use a mainstream website.

It’s clearly complete nonsense to anyone capable of critical thinking.

There was a huge thread on it yesterday. It’s a load of bollocks.
