The viral rumors go like this:
Wayfair.com, a website that sells home goods and furniture, listed several cabinets, pillows and other items for thousands of dollars. Some of those items had names that purportedly matched reports of missing children from around the country, such as Neriah, Samiyah and Yeritza.
Tens of thousands of social media users pieced those observations together with cell phone screenshots, red circles and lots of question marks to accuse Wayfair of selling and shipping children to pedophiles.
"Anons may have busted a human trafficking ring from a seller on WayFair. Selling $10K cabinets that are worth $200 with names of missing children," wrote one Facebook page.
"@Wayfair needs to be closely examined by @FBI," one Twitter user said.
"When will the mainstream media talk about WayFair trafficking?" asked an Instagram account dedicated to the conspiracy theory.
