HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – All Pro Power Sports, a longtime powersports dealer on Lehman Ferry Road, is alerting customers that a fraudulent website is posing as the company after its original domain expired. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) says the bogus site was registered on September 30 and now displays the shop’s name, address and phone number while offering products the real store does not carry.
How the scam operates
According to BBB spokesperson Reeves, the impostor site blends authentic information – such as the business’s location and contact details – with fabricated listings for ATVs, motorcycles and other equipment. “It mixes real information with fake information,” Reeves explained, noting that scammers constantly evolve their tactics. “Scammers are relentless. It is constantly evolving and changing scams. That’s why it’s so important that we do our homework in every situation.”
Potential risks for shoppers
The primary danger, Reeves warned, is that customers could send money for an ATV or other gear and never receive the product. While the BBB has not yet received any confirmed complaints of lost funds linked to the fraudulent site, the warning is intended to prevent future losses.
What consumers should do
Consumers are urged to verify that they are on the official All Pro Power Sports website before making any purchase. The legitimate site can be accessed through the company’s current domain, which the business maintains after the expiration of the older address. Shoppers should also be wary of unsolicited emails or social‑media messages that direct them to the suspect site.
All Pro Power Sports response
All Pro Power Sports confirmed that it let its previous domain lapse and that the new site is not affiliated with the company. The dealership emphasized its commitment to honest transactions and encouraged anyone who believes they may have been targeted to contact the store directly.
BBB’s role and advice
The Better Business Bureau continues to monitor the situation and will update the public if any fraud reports are filed. In the meantime, the BBB recommends that consumers use secure payment methods, keep records of all communications, and report suspicious activity to both the business and local law‑enforcement agencies.
By staying vigilant and confirming web addresses, shoppers can protect themselves from scams that exploit trusted local brands.
