A strange looking shop…

1

Hey guys! I just saw this super strange looking shop, that has “crochet patterns” but the cover pictures for the patterns are just random ai generated images of fruits/ flowers/ geometric shapes. And they also are paid patterns, so I can’t really see if there is really any pattern at all, but it kind of feels like a scam.

I don’t know what is the procedure in this case, but something’s definitely not right and since I didn’t see a “report” button, I thought I should ask you all - should we do anything about this? :thinking:

I am sorry if that’s actually a legitimate shop and I didn’t get something :sweat_smile:

The “About” says “best digital pattern shop” …? So uh
I’m not sure if they understand the site…?

They joined 4hrs ago so it probably is a scam @Ribblr

They aren’t crochet patterns at all :sweat_smile:…. They claim to be wallpaper/ digital printouts!

And some look kinda AI generated as well! (Not saying that’s the case though, I could be wrong!)

On every pattern (or in this case, alleged pattern) there is a report link. Which in my opinion needs to be in a larger font and bolded so it is easier to read

I saw the little crochet hook symbol next to the price and thought that meant it should be a crochet pattern :sweat_smile:

Thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t see it. If I did I wouldn’t have done a whole topic for this! :heart_hands:

I think that they are not necessarily a scam artist but mistakenly thought Ribblr was the correct venue for selling their product

Yep, that’s probably why they put “patterns” but they aren’t actually crochet patterns!

You are probably right, but someone can still make a mistake not recognising that that is not an actual crochet pattern and buy it thinking that it is.

Best to report one of these patterns and let Ribblr decide if it should remain

I don’t see a report link on the shop itself though
