Fake Online Store Warnings

The RC Racing community is being warned about fake online stores posing as legitimate retailers of reputable RC manufacturers.  Both Yokomo and Awesomatix have today issued warnings on their social media after fake websites ( Yokomo-shop. com / rcawesomatix . com ) offering heavily discounted prices on products came to their attention.  www.Yokomo-shop.com As they say ‘if it is too good to be true it probably is’.  Such sites are common in mainstream consumer brands but it appears the scammer have taken an interest in RC market so double check the source and if you are ever in doubt check with the manufacturer to verify if the site is legitimate.

Update – Schumacher Racing has been in touch to let us know that they have found a fake online store ( schumacherus .com ) and they are in the process of trying to have it taken down but as with all these scams they will have a new site up & running within hours.
