We want to take a moment to address a growing concern that has come to our attention. Recently, many of our customers have reported falling victim to scam websites posing as legitimate sellers of our products. These fraudulent sites use deceptive tactics such as stolen images, fake product descriptions, and unrealistically low prices to lure unsuspecting buyers. Unfortunately, those who fall for these scams end up losing money or receiving inferior products that do not meet their expectations. Here's how these scam sites typically operate and why they continue to emerge:
How do scam sites work? Why do they keep popping up?
- Attractive Prices: Scammers offer high-value products like the Teching 4 Cylinder Full Metal Car Engine, Toyan V8 Engine Kit, and others at significantly lower prices—often 70-80% less than the Stirlingkit original price, sometimes for just a few dollars.
- Fake Ads: These scammers use professionally crafted ads on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, featuring stolen photos and videos of genuine products.
- One-time Websites: Many of these scams use temporary domain names and provide unclear contact information. Once complaints start accumulating, they shut down the site and reappear with a new name.
- False Promises: Scammers often pressure buyers with "limited-time offers" or "exclusive deals," encouraging impulse purchases without fully researching the site.
Common Scams
- Fake Product Listings: Customers order high-quality engine kits, only to receive cheap plastic models instead.
- No Refunds: These fraudulent sites usually provide invalid or non-existent contact information, making it impossible to request a refund.
- Reseller Scams: Some scammers pose as third-party sellers claiming they have "extra inventory" and offer steep discounts.
These scam sites are like chameleons—they adapt quickly, change domain names, and reappear under different names, making them difficult to track down.
How to Avoid Scams:
1. Always Buy from Trusted Sources: Make sure you're purchasing from official websites like ours. We guarantee the quality and authenticity of every product we sell.
2. Check Reviews and Testimonials: Look for customer reviews and testimonials to verify the legitimacy of the site you're buying from.
3. Be Wary of Unrealistic Prices: If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Genuine products come at fair prices that reflect their quality.
4. Verify Contact Information: If a website lacks proper contact details or doesn’t provide clear customer service options, consider it a red flag.
We strongly advise our customers to be vigilant when making online purchases. Please report any suspicious sites you come across, and remember—if something doesn’t feel right, it’s better to stay safe and shop from reliable sources.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. Stay safe and happy shopping!
Best regards,
