SCAM ALERT: PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FAKE SELLERS POSING AS AGT INDUSTRIAL
At AGT Industrial, we value the trust and hard work of our customers. Unfortunately, scammers are targeting equipment buyers through phone calls, social media, and unofficial websites. Recently, one of our long-time customers was tricked by a fraudulent seller, and we want to make sure you have the tools to protect yourself.
Here are the most common red flags to look for when spotting a scammer.
1. SUSPICIOUS PAYMENT REOUESTS
We only process transactions through our official website,Ā agrotkindustrial.com or through our financing company. Our platform runs on Shopify, which ensures both your safety and ours. If someone asks you to pay viaĀ Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, or wire transfer, treat it as extremely suspicious.
2.āWE HAVE PARTSā MESSAGES
As many of you know, we're still improving our parts availability. Until we're fully confident in our stock,Ā we will never cold-advertise āHey, we've got parts" or message you out of the blue. lf someone sends you a robotic "We have parts, DM me" message, that is a classic scam tactic.
3.UNPROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION
Scammers often use poor English or robotic phrasing. lf it doesn't sound like us, it probably isn't. Communication and transparency are extremely important to us, and you'll always know when you're dealing with an official AGT Industrial representative.
HOW TO VERIFY A LEGITIMATE PURCHASE
lf you're ever in doubt, here are a few ways to confirm you're dealing with the real AGT Industrial team.
- Only trust purchases through agrotkindustrial.com or our financing partner.
- Contact us directly on our official channels. You can also reach out to me personally or to Jose Marguez via Facebook for verification.
