Wayfair product listings spark child trafficking conspiracy theory
nyPOST ^ | 7/10/2020 | Bruce Golding

A conspiracy theory emerged Friday that the Wayfair online store was using the sale of storage cabinets as a cover for child trafficking — which the home decor company immediately denounced as false.

A post on the social media website Reddit noted the high cost of the furniture — along with the fact that each item was identified by a female name — as potential evidence of the purported scandal, Newsweek reported.

The prices for the cabinets — called Alyvia, Neriah, Samiyah and Yaritza — ranged from $12,699.99 to $14,499.99 each, according to a screenshot posted in the “r/conspiracy” subreddit.

“Is it possible Wayfair involved in Human trafficking with their WFX Utility collection? Or are these just extremely overpriced cabinets? (Note the names of the cabinets) this makes me sick to my stomach if it’s true :(,” user PrincessPeach1987 wrote Thursday.

The post quickly drew more than 700 comments from the subreddit’s 1.3 million members, including the assertion that “some of the names are missing children.”

“i cant access the cabinets anymore, but i remember a cabinet called Samiyah for like 12K, which is also a missing child from this month!” user coffeeismymuse added.

In a statement, Wayfair said, “There is, of course, no truth to these claims.”

“The products in question are industrial grade cabinets that are accurately priced,” the company said.

Just. Stop.

The way it's being handled on Twitter is extremely suspicious: "Wayfair confirms there is ‘no truth’ to conspiracy theories about human trafficking The online retailer Wayfair responded to reporters’ individual inquiries into a conspiracy theory that gained traction on Friday that it was allegedly using storage cabinets to ship children. The company confirmed to reporters and Poynter’s MediaWise that the rumors are not true."

"Confirms"? MediaWise (a far left fake-checking site run by TDS patients)?

Funny, this kind of language was never used when Trump confirmed there was no truth to Russia collusion conspiracy theories...

What makes you look like a kook is dismissing it without being able to provide a better explanation.

Go to Twitter and go under the #Wayfair hashtag. Tons of proofs dropping. No f—ing way a cabinet costs $10,000 and is named after a missing child. The odds of that being a typo is Powerball lottery odds.

Is there any evidence that these are really the names of missing children? I’ve seen it asserted, but no links are given to reports of children with these names recently missing.

Can anyone confirm that cabinets such as these really do sell for near that amount?

Among the products sold were an Epstein chandelier and the Gislaine chair set.

Just sayin ...

Anyone who believes this stuff is bat-shit crazy and unable to look after their own affairs.

“What makes you look like a kook is dismissing it without being able to provide a better explanation.”

How about someone in China or wherever the products are made translated the price wrong and it got auto entered into the system?

Are you s--tting me?

The names of the cabinets and pillows MATCH EXACTLY that of recently missing kids.

Go on Twitter, #Wayfair, and there's tons of proof.

Makes me wonder about your motivation in trying to cut off the discussion.

Is there a worse explanation?
