I was looking for an engine for my f150. I put in search engine what i was looking for. I got a call from Kim's Auto Sales. Telling me they had the engine i was looking for. Asked them to send me information via email. My son and i looked over everything and thought it was legitimate. So i contacted them paid $2700 for the engine thru square. They sent me a 4 page invoice after payment. Then told me they would contact me when shipper was bringing the engine. Over couple of weeks they kept me informed. On Oct 17th i got a call telling me the shipper would be delivering the engine on Fri Oct. 18th around 3 pm. And that they were coming in a semi with a lift gate. They never showed up. My son called around 4:30. They said driver was running behind that he would be here by 5:30. They never showed up. Website says their closed sat and sun. So Monday i tried calling the number for customer service, the number for the sales representative, and the number that called and said what time the truck was coming. All 3 have been disconnected and now the website is no longer working. I've contacted my bank and taking actions to get my money returned. Tonight we found the exact same website with a different company name, address, and phone number. But everything is exactly the same. Paxton Auto Sales. I have more information and other email addresses i have been able to find that they are operating under.
