Type of a scam: Online Purchase

Northwest Motors, aka Northwest Motors JDM Arlington, TX is a fraud website for those interested in buying Japanese Direct Motors (JDM) from them. There is a legit North-West Motors in Sacramento, CA. The fraud website identifies a location in Arlington, TX at 630 112th St, Arlington, TX 76012 USA. This address is associated with Dallas JDM Motors, a legit company. When contacting NW JDM Arlington, they'll send you information to send funds direct to a bank.

I called NWJDM, Arlington at the number on their website +1 (214) 937-4503, and a male with a foreign accent answered. Did not identify the company or himself. I had blocked my caller ID. I asked to purchase an engine. He said the price on the website was a web special and it would increase form $3,5550 to $5,000 the next day (pressure sale). I said no problem but wanted someone to inspect it and quoted the address on the website. He said he'll have to call me back. He didn't have my number to call me back. Never heard from him again.

I also called Dallas JDM and asked if they have any association with NW JDM which has their same address. They said it was a fraud website and to report to the BBB.

Type of a scam: Online Purchase

Elaborate online store appears to list desirable Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) engines, at a generously discounted price. The website includes detailed screenshots of these engines, all claim to have "5-star" reviews, there are even phony testimonials on the storefront. In order to begin the transaction, an 'enquiry' form is available which starts the communication process, an email is returned with a copy-and-paste of the listing with the addition of instructions to send your mailing address, phone number, and that they only accept "bank transfer via JP Morgan Chase", and that when this information is returned they will send more details. I also called the phone number listed on the site, instead of an answer they text back through whatsapp and only communicate through that medium. I asked specific questions and received answers that conflict with what is shown on the website (i.e. warranty information is different than what is listed). Lastly, I asked where they were located to which they responded 'Houston TX', the website said 'Austin TX'; the website has since been modified with 'Arlington TX'. Upon stating that I am able to pick up the engine from Houston, and asking for their physical address, the whatsapp response was only "ok" and never replied again.
