This site uses a classic 'closing-down giveaway' scam template: a tearful 104-year family-business story where every cap is 'free' and you only pay shipping — a pattern seen on a network of near-identical fake hat stores (e.g. henrys-caps.com, georges-caps.com). The customer photo gallery is literally made of AI-generated images (filenames say 'Gemini_Generated_Image'), and independent scanners already flag the domain as a high-risk store in a scam network. Expect to be charged for shipping and receive nothing or a worthless item.
The red flag our scan surfaced on franklin-caps.com
AI-generated 'customer' photos and fabricated sob story
highThe 'Don't just take my word for it!' testimonial images are hosted with filenames like 'Gemini_Generated_Image_l729ak...jpg', proving the customer photos are AI-generated, while the '104 years, inherited from my father' backstory is a copy-paste script reused across multiple lookalike cap-store scams.

What should you do right now?
- Don't enter card details or personal information. If you already paid, contact your card issuer now, dispute the charge, and watch the card for follow-on charges — don't wait out a tracking number that never moves.
- Report it: the ad where you found it (Facebook/Instagram ads have a report option) and the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
- Before trusting any counterclaim — 'we shipped it,' 'pay a release fee' — get a current researched verdict on the exact URL. Sites like this change hands and templates fast.
