Someone told me that it might be a money laundering scheme, I order 40 bins from you (vendor) and you charge me $13k, never ship any bins and now we've got $13k in clean money.

Maybe you did receive $798.00 in overpriced closet organizers and disinfectant wipes.
I've seen the same before. I was looking for small step ladders with only 2-3 steps. On the first several pages, they were mostly $25-75 with a few that were maybe up to $200 and they all looked "reasonably" priced. But then once you got several pages into the search, you ran across the same cheap, Chinese step ladders for $700-1000 for a single ladder. I don't see those any more. "They" must have moved along to a new bogus product.
