Last week a woman named Candace Payne shared a video on Facebook that showed her latest Kohl's purchase: an electronic Chewbacca mask. The video has gone viral with over 141 million views, granting her the name 'Chewbacca Mask Lady.'
The video in question:
Scammers have taken the Chewbacca mask's sudden fame and are using it to their advantage — regardless of the fact that the mask is typically $31.99. Prices for the mask on Amazon have skyrocketed up to starting at $150.
On eBay, the mask started at around $50 bids and goes up to $499. Yep, it only took one video and this mask is worth up to $499, thanks to eBay scammers.
This isn't the first time eBay scammers have struck, they did the same with PlayStation 4 consoles that had the P.T. demo on them.
