[Israel] My granny bought fake bags from a fake shop and the bank isn't helping.

A grandmother in Israel purchased six handmade bags from a Facebook-advertised shop in Safed, later discovering the items were AI-generated fakes. The website had multiple red flags, including a recently registered domain, stolen images, and false claims about store operations. The bank refused to assist with a dispute, directing her to contact the non-existent shop, while pending charges totaling $550 remain unresolved.
