    Amok for $28? This has to be a scam...

    Selling an Amok for $28 via a link on Facebook. Gotta be a scam of some kind. Actually $28.88 with free shipping on purchases of $29 or more.

    Someone from Amok posted on one of the facebook hammock pages that it's a fake. They're in the process of trying to get the page taken down.

    On the HF Forum FB page, the Amok team posted about it there. It's a rip-off and not one of their products.

    LOL! I saw that ad on Facebook. Noticed that even though the Amok label clearly shows in the ad’s video and all their pics, the brand Amok is listed nowhere in the print for the ad. The description simply repeatedly references a “camping hammock” which of course could mean almost anything. I’m confident they aren’t sending Amok hammocks to the poor souls who plop down their money. Doubt if they are even sending imitation Amoks. Most likely it is just a super cheap, super short GE hammock!

    If you read through the description, you’ll notice some weird grammar usage...suspect the ad was written by someone who’s native tongue is not English.

    They even used Dedrik's video on FB ad to sell the product.
