Absolutely a fake group. Just the name alone sounds like it's fake. And to be honest, most generic Facebook part source businesses are fake these days. Several tips for spotting scammers and keeping safe:
-If a Facebook "business" doesn't have a real
www.____ website to back up or compliment the Facebook presence, it's likely fake.
-If it's a Mopar "business" but shows photos of parts that are not all Mopar, such as Impala parts, it's likely fake.
-If their page is nothing but constant posts of parts/items for sale, it's probably fake.
-If their page/business title is anything along the lines of Auto Spare Parts and Accessories, Authentic Parts, Parts Garage, etc., it's probably fake.
-On their Facebook page, under the "About" tab, you can go to "Page Transparency" and click on "see all". It should show you when the page was created, the country of origin, and any name changes. A legitimate used parts supply business with a large inventory, will not be brand new - those kinds of businesses take years and decades to build.
-You can see who is following their page, who follows them, who likes their posts, etc. As soon as you see anything that indicates Nigeria, Cameroon, etc., run.
-If you suspect a scam, ask for more details and photos. Scammers pull photos from online, so they won't have them, or they will be a whole car photo that they try to crop, or something like that.
-Never let them convince you to pay in any electronic form except PayPal family/friends. Scammers will pressure you for a quick payment, usually quoting shipping without even asking where you live, and then give you a reason why payment cannot be sent as PayPal family/friends where you have buyer protection. A legitimate business also will likely accept checks or credit cards. Scammers usually want online payments because they are fast and do not require a legitimate address. They rely on quick scams before people catch on, start naming their business as fraudulent, and then start the whole scam over with a new business name.
Use Murray Park or one of the other legitimate, established c-body vendors whenever possible.
