A trusted auto parts business in southern Alberta is warning customers about a copycat website that is causing confusion. Marshall Auto Wreckers, which has been operating in the Lethbridge area for decades, says a fake site has been mimicking its name and services. The real company recycles old vehicles and sells used parts. Customers have reported being misled by the lookalike website, thinking it was the original business. The owners say the fake site has caused frustration and potential loss of trust. They urge people to double-check the website address before making any transactions. Auto wreckers, also known as scrap yards or car recyclers, are common in many regions. For decades, Marshall Auto Wreckers has built a reputation for honest dealings. Now, they are working to clarify the situation with local authorities. It is unclear who created the fake site or why. The business advises customers to call directly or visit their physical location to avoid scams. This case highlights growing concerns about online impersonation affecting small businesses. As more people buy parts online, verifying the authenticity of a business website becomes important.
