MOD WARNING: This "store" stinks VERY much of a scam and is HIGHLY advised NOT to order from. Please read the rest of the thread before making your decision and sending some unknown person your money / credit card info.

Warning signs:

  • The domain of this likely scammer store (shopifyus.store) mimics the very popular and trusted site shopify.com. This is a known tactic that scammers will use in order to trick you into thinking it's related or a trusted site.

  • The site logo of this "store" is a complete rip off of the trusted "Toys of Trucks" website that sales accessories for full size trucks and jeeps. In fact the likely scammer site didn't even bother to remove the tag line of the logo which says "car, truck and jeep accessories" - when this likely scammer site doesn't even list car, truck, or jeep accessories.

  • ZERO contact information. The store doesn't give you ANY contact information. No email. No Address. No phone number.
    In addition the domain was just registered on 3/6/2019 - that's not to say every new store is a scam just proceed with extreme caution.

If it looks too good to be true it probably is! There's no mention of an address or telephone number anywhere on the website; big red flags!

Yes there actually is that was just a screenshot of my cart and the place has been around for a little bit as well I'm going to give it a shot I'm going to get that yeti HD 1/6 scale
 
Good luck. No way I would purchase from them. Dealer cost is higher than that. Has to be a scam. Has to be.

Check the URL's out. It has to be a scam. Unless a reputable dealer of 1:1 truck parts and Jeep parts also happens to sell RC RTR kits, lol. Like I said. Good luck, bro.
 
someone please tell me if this is bullshit cause if it's not I'm about to buy four or five different cars
 
I hope @WoodiE removes this before anyone else is scammed out of money.

It's complete bullshit. Hard to believe anyone would think otherwise. Look at the f@cking prices. Come on. Anyone with a shred of common sense would know it's a scam.

well if it actually shows up in the mail I'll try one myself
a scammer will tell you whatever you whatever you want to here just to get the money I'm just saying ... but if it's real I'm in all day lol maybe its overstock who knows but if its wake be warned and please do tell if it's not what you ordered

exactly why I'm waiting for the mail call just let it play out but guys I wouldn't go crazy on here if it's to good to be true it normally is ... although I'm covered for vs like this it would still take at least a week to dispute it on my card so I'm gonna hold out and see what happens

I totally agree what you guys I'm not gonna do that ship no way in h*** that's why I asked you guys thank you very much for talking my stubborn a** out of it lol I love you guys now to fix my son's kraton. I do have a brand new notorious I'm looking to trade for a yeti XL rock Racer Vanni bodies intrested
Did you ask them why they have two different websites?
Did you ask them why they have two different websites?
Yes I did and that is not their website that sells trucks and truck parts there on shop afy that's who has the RC trucks
 
I'll build us a website and take out a small fortune from the bank... if it's real there is big money to be made

Well let's assume that this is a legitimate business that wants to make money. If they are selling the new Kraton for $120 (or even the V3), what do you think their cost is? A guess. Let's say $90. Do you really believe Horizon Hobby is selling these guys Kratons for $90 apiece? Do you think that is what your LHS is paying for them and marking them up to $550? Is there anybody here that sees how utterly ridiculous this is? I'd be more apt at believing it if they were selling them for $400. But $120? If you believe that then you must have failed Common Sense 101 like a dozen times and you certainly shouldn't be driving RC's capable of 60 mph. I am not trying to be mean, but you have to be an idiot to think there is any shred of truth to this. Maybe shipping is $430.

And they just happen to have the same name and logo as the legit 1:1 car parts business?! Red flags everywhere. Run away.
