>as they take peoples’ money then shut down

That's not what these sites do. They are dropshipping sites. Make up a random expensive price and then say it is on sale at a price where you still make profit. Some make the shipping more expensive so they advertised price of the item is even lower or even free.

No, some of them DO take people's money and shutdown without delivering anything or do deliver some fake crap that buys them just enough time to function a little longer before shutting down again.

Taboola is a scammers paradise and I'm surprised Apple touched them with a 10 foot pole even.
