Engine scam - KG Motor and Machinery

I got referred to them by a friend who had requested a quote to buy an engine from them BUT not bought one. He said their prices were good.

My experience was a nightmare, they said they had the engine in stock at a good price that I was looking for, and requested a R5000 deposit to reserve the engine. They sent photos and details of the engine. The photos I later found them on Google when searching for the engine.

All details provided were fake. I then sent someone to go collect the engine and I would pay the remainder on collection (turns out the address also was fake 76 kock street is a residential area - the actual number doesn't exist on the road), and they would not pick up our calls anymore. Requested a refund and that obviously didn't work out. So that was the end of that.

Please to avoid all dissapointment buy your engines elsewhere and don't have anything to do with these guys. On research it says the company was registered on the 5 November 2020. The same phone number came up for another scam engine company called "King Auto Engine and Gearbox". Check out their one review on Google of another client who was also scammed same engine story... They said the previous complaint on hello Peter was resolved it was delay in delivery of an engine. That's up to you to decide. But I wrote this so that other people won't lose their hard earned money in such a way.
