$130 Thorogood Moc-toes, all different sizes, all brand new. Are these counterfeit? Scam sellers?

$130 Thorogood Moc-toes, all different sizes, all brand new. Are these counterfeit? Scam sellers?

Title basically says it all. There are hundreds of these boots for sale, steel toes are a bit more, almost half of retail. There appear to be multiple sellers all with good reviews.

Occidental Moc Toe Work Boot | Safety Toe, ASTM Rated

Anyone try these? They look good, but I know Occidental isn’t a shoe manufacturer and the $200 price point seems low, especially considering the price of their belts and bags.

50-something electrician wanting to try something new, thinking PNW. Anyone in commercial/industrial construction use PNW daily drivers? Are they worth it? Any preferences or suggestions?

Over the years I’ve tried many brands, mostly American made. I have two pair of Thorogoods, a moc-toe and Wellingtons, that I alternate. They are pretty comfortable, but I want to try something new. I have pretty high arches and somewhat wide feet. I’m a foreman that tries not to work with my tools, but I’m on my feet 8-10 hours a day, sometimes on ladders or on my knees. I like the idea of a premium boot, but don’t want to buy them just because they’re pretty.

[US] Pretty sure I just fell for a “fake web shop scam”. Am I still in danger?

I gave my credit card info, email, and phone number. Then I got a screen when they were “processing” the payment. The screen said I would receive a text with a code I needed to type in. I got the text and typed in the number. Afterwards I noticed the domain name. I called the credit card company right away, but there was no charge on it. I’ve locked the credit card, but am I in any danger from this text/code thing?

I’m pretty sure I clicked on the website from a google search. Should’ve known when everything was “half off”.

Someone got my Gmail password. How?

Last month I got an email from google that someone was trying to access my email. I’ve had the same password for the last ten or so years, so I decided to change them and make sure 2FA was on. I accessed my Gmail accounts on my iPhone browser and had apple suggest passwords that went directly to my password vault. Today I got emails to both my Gmail accounts that someone tried to login to my main account with the correct password, but they were blocked, “Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened.” I guess I need to change passwords again, but how did this happen?
