Online Car Parts Scam Exposed
Description
A slick fake website promising cheap car parts turned into a nationwide scam, leaving victims like Ortiz and Jeremy Burch out hundreds to thousands of dollars—no parts, no refunds. Behind the curtain? A guy named Leroy Council, who claimed he was just an unwitting middleman, wiring money for someone called “Mike.” But “Mike” vanished too, with no proof of delivery—and the BBB confirmed they never heard from him. The site’s gone, but the lesson’s clear: always verify addresses, compare prices, avoid wire transfers, and pay with a credit card whenever possible.
