If Louis Vuitton bags are sold at ridiculously low prices they are not real, right?

My mom called me the other day and said she got an email for a Louis Vuitton sale. She asked me to pick out some Louis Vuitton bags for her to buy and even offered to get me one too. She was in the process of entering her card info when the page disappeared. I went to the website she told me, which was "welcometolvworld.com", and spent a long time looking through pages and pages of bags. I sent her pics of ones I liked, to see which ones we should get. The bags were sold at huge discount prices. As an example a bag that cost around $2000 was sold for under $300. That's a great bargain. It certainly made sense to get more than one bag. The website looked legit and had a good design. There was a Create Account/Login feature, a copyright notice that said "Copyright © 2017-2018 Louis Vuitton Bags Outlet. Powered by Louis Vuitton", and there were pics of Michelle Williams (the actress) modeling some bags. They also had the following pages: help, contact us, shipping & returns, privacy policy, and a terms & conditions page. The bags looked real, yet something seemed off. First of all, it was hard to believe that these bags were sold at such ridiculously low prices. It was just too good to be true. Plus, the website was not the official Louis Vuitton website. Even if there is a separate official site for a Louis Vuitton outlet (which I am not sure even exists, at least online) I doubt it would have the website URL of "welcometolvworld.com". Also the "Powered by Louis Vuitton" in the copyright notice took you back to this same website not the official Louis Vuitton site. I had my mom forward me her emails she got for this Louis Vuitton sale. The email addresses where they came from had nothing to do with the real Louis Vuitton company and they didn't even end in .com. Ending domans were .fun, .city, .space, .date, etc. The wording in the emails was not the way someone would speak if that person was fluent in English and if the emails came from Louis Vuitton, even a supposed outlet. Also, one email instead of the usual "Buy Now" button under the featured bags in the email said "Possess Now". Really? Something was definitely not right here, so I decided to google if that website is a scam or not. Went to a scam adviser site and was told this site is based in the US but most likely from China. It has a low trust rating, may not be safe to use, and is high risk. Then I had my mom go into history on her iPhone's Safari browser to see what it says above the website URL as my browser tab didn't say anything that seemed off. She told me that it said "Replica Top Quality Louis Vuitton Bags". My tab didn't say that. Maybe because I had too many tabs open in one browser. There you have it! These bags are fake, but they look so real, at least online, that you probably can't tell the difference unless you are an expert. We certainly couldn't. Good thing we didn't get anything from the site. Glad she asked me to help her get the bags. Otherwise she would have ended up with fake bags. And who knows what they would have done with her personal info and credit card number. I wonder what happened after she entered her info and the site disappeared. Hope her info wasn't saved on their end.
