Hertfordshire Police are warning people not to fall for a scam that has already caught out several residents.
A force spokesperson said Herts victims have reported "not receiving goods they have ordered via a link on Facebook to the Wilkinson's website".
"Avoid using links in emails or social media posts and go direct to websites to be sure they are genuine," they added.

Homeware chain Wilko announced last month that it has officially entered administration, putting 12,000 jobs at risk.
The company has stores in Stevenage, St Albans, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Hitchin and Letchworth.
It has confirmed there are "no immediate plans" to close the Hertfordshire stores.
"We’ve no choice but to take the difficult decision to enter into administration," added Wilko CEO Mark Jackson.
It comes after B&M agreed to acquire 51 Wilko sites in a deal worth up to £13 million.
