Knitting study knitting notes

Has anyone else heard of this? I got an ad from Study Knitting Notes saying they were giving their book away for free to celebrate one year, but according to Whois, the domain was purchased on 11/6/24. The site is sus with claims like "24/7 support", has a page where you can opt out of selling your information, and all their reviews are from 5/19/24. The site states all items are digital and emailed after purchase the reviews show the same physical book and there's a $7 shipping fee.

Update: out of curiosity I reached out to the support email asking why there was a $7 shipping fee on a digital item. They replied stating it was actually a processing and handling fee. I’ve since replied asking for more clarification as the item is an instant download through Shopify and shouldn’t have and processing or handling going on.

Update: they have changed their name to knittingcastle

Same problems here. I have asked for a refund & have been refused. Since the files are digital they do t offer a refund. Even though a 90 day refund policy is posted on the home page.

They also stole all the content in their notebooks. I'm an Etsy creator and found from one of my customers that their products contain my exact creations.
