If a deal seems to good to be true, trust your instincts.​

Beware of Websites Posing as Summit Racing Equipment​ ​ To Our Valued Customers, We have been made aware of fraudulent websites posing as Summit Racing Equipment and offering products at heavily discounted prices in an attempt to scam consumers. We have a team working diligently to identify and shut down these fraudulent sites, but new sites can easily pop up overnight, and we want to make sure you use caution when shopping online. The scammers are using our logo, product photos and descriptions, company information, etc. but they are not affiliated with Summit Racing Equipment in any way. We have also received reports that there are social media ads and emails advertising these “incredible deals” or a “warehouse sale.” If you see a deal that seems too good to be true, it is. Please check the URL of the website or verify the email address of the sender carefully. Some common tricks among scammers include using a different domain (not .com), adding words or dashes to the company name in the URL, or slightly misspelling the company name. Emails may look like they are coming from a legitimate business but upon inspection of the sender’s address, you will find something totally different. Unfortunately, this is a common practice, with scammers posing as a company and targeting unsuspecting buyers before moving on when it is no longer easy to get sales. Please check URLs carefully any time you shop online and check the sender’s email address if you receive an irresistible offer. Our website remains secure—you can continue to buy with confidence when you are shopping at SummitRacing.com, using our mobile app, or shopping on eBay at our storefront (seller name: summitracing_sales). If you have any questions or concerns, our U.S.-based sales and customer service team is happy to help you. Thank you, The Summit Racing Equipment Customer Care Team​ ​

You know, if you think about it, these guys wouldn't keep doing this crap if people didn't fall for it. I mean, they take advantage of american greed, especially in the car hobby. So many guys are looking for a 'deal' or a way to make money, that all reason and rationale leaves their brain.

Hey Summit... why not just match the scammers deals?

I had to ask.

I just got it too, read it this AM...

I haven't seen any of the scams or fraudulent Summit stuff
it'd be pretty damn hard to fake the Summit retail site
that'd be shitload of work to even attempt...

haven't bought anything in a while either

I am a traditionalist with many things. I've never ordered anything from Summit through the internet directly. I've always called them. Whatever scam they are dealing with would not affect me but I'm sure others have been fooled by it.
I just wanted to get the word out to those that may not be on their email list.
