See the shocking difference between clothing advertised on Facebook and what furious consumers are getting

Facebook/Knockoff Nightmares

Earlier this year, BuzzFeed reported that women were saying they were being scammed from websites, like Zaful, Rosegal, SammyDress, RoseWe, TideBuy, Choies, and Dresslily.

These websites promise extremely cheap apparel via ads on Facebook that target women.

But the dresses that come in the mail look nothing like the original photos. In fact, they're often miserable knockoffs.

BuzzFeed had reported that at least eight of these troubling sites operate under a Chinese e-commerce company called ShenZhen Global Egrow E-Commerce Co., which made about $200 million in sales in 2014. Customers have a hard time reaching customer services by phone, too, since the businesses are in China.

As a result, angry consumers have created multiple Facebook groups, like Knockoff Nightmares andRosegal.com Is A Scam, to share "buyer, beware" photos alleged dissonance between the advertised photos and what they received in the mail. Even though Facebook said it was going to be cracking down on these types of advertisements, the photographs of the evidence lives on. In fact, there's a recent slew of new, hideous nightmare knockoffs that people have posted to the Knockoff Nightmares group.

Take a look.
