More fake websites!

Some already rerported, it appears to be widespread..
Multiple websites that all claim to be selling Spyderco knives in Canada are all cloned and all fake. Just for stealing credit card info.
The domains are all recently registered and were previously real unrelated businesses. Phone numbers and addresses are fake.
https://www.traitdeplume.ca/
https://www.zimmermancustomflooring.ca/
Other clones of this scam are on non Canadian domains:
https://www.1sttmotel.com.au/
I suspect there are many more!
I used my credit card # on traitdeplume.ca, but red flags went up after I did.
I did some investigations and discovered the site was fraudulent, and then found the other cloned sites as they were sloppy and failed to change certain information that tied them together.
i.e all the shipping info refers to shipping in Australia. and that page was copied from an online appliance website in Australia.
I was able to lock my card before it could be charged and will get a new one.
I reported these to the goverment antifraud site in Canada, but not really expecting much to come of that.
I should have known it was too good to be true.
Be careful evereyone!
