Is there a Nike COVID-19-related scam going on right now?

I got the following message from a friend:




This seems sketchy so I went on Google but couldn't find much of anything other than the suggestions box showing a lot of other ppl have been searching this

 

[Jarrod38]

Yes that is a, scam.

 

[NTGYK]

110% a scam.

Side-note: ordered new Metcons, they are late to arrive. They are the only thing I'm really looking forward to until things improve.

 

[Guzim]

Nike's official site is nike.com so anything other than that is a scam.

.net lmao

I don't think people are running out of shoes. They could get their workers to make stuff for hospitals though.

Also, a huge company like Nike would put out a legit website, even if it takes more time to do so.

Plenty of scams going on right now. It seems this pandemic brought out the worst in some people, unless they were always like this.

I've already gotten two texts telling me to click a link for my $1200 government check.

I'm really curious about how this whole thing is supposed to work, how did the link reach me through my friend and how is it supposed to get something out of me?
