Peavey Mart warns of fake websites, accounts imitating brand as stores close

Peavey Industries LP warns customers about fake websites and Facebook accounts that imitate Peavey Mart, selling non-existent goods at steep discounts to defraud customers and steal their information, according to Jest Sidloski, the vice-president of marketing.
The company announced plans to close all 90 stores across Canada after nearly 60 years in business, citing record-low consumer confidence, increased operating costs, and supply chain disruptions.
Sidloski stated that the company has filed a report with the RCMP regarding the fake sites and encouraged customers to report any scams they encounter.
Kevin Smith, a shopper, expressed sadness over the store's closure, noting that Peavey Mart has been a trusted source for farm goods and supplies in the community.
