Peavey Mart says fake websites and social media accounts are being used by scammers to impersonate the retailer.

Peavey Mart is warning customers about online scams after the retailer announced last month that it was closing all stores. 

In a social media post on Monday, the retailer said it is aware of fake Peavey Mart websites and social media accounts. 

Peavey Mart stores are having liquidation sales, but they are in-store only, the company said. 

Online orders are not being accepted through its website, and its legitimate social media accounts are verified, Peavey Mart said. 

Customers who may have been the victim of fraud from a site impersonating Peavey Mart should immediately contact their credit card company and the local police non-emergency line to make a report, the company said.

Peavey Mart confirmed on Jan. 28 that all of its locations in Canada would be closed, citing record-low consumer confidence, inflation, rising costs, and supply chain issues. 

Peavey Mart has a nearly 60-year history in Canada, serving mostly rural communities, including High River and Airdire.
