Warning: Michigan Motorsports, Autoplicity, and Amazon Fraudulent listing

Do not buy from this listing: Amazon Amazon The listing SAYS it's from the Driven Racing Oil Store. It appears to be a closeout sale of about half off 4 quarts of DT-40 oil from a small remaining stock. Seems like a nice deal, right? However, Driven says they have nothing to do with it and do not sell on Amazon. If you click on the link to the seller, which again says "Driven Racing Oil Store", it shows Michigan Motorsports. However, Michigan Motorsports ALSO says they have nothing to do with it, and claims that Amazon lets people sell under their name, which seems highly suspect, and it's alarming how MIchigan Motorsports don't seem too bothered by it. It is actually coming from a 3rd company called Autoplicity, who will ship you ONE quart of oil when you purchase an item that clearly shows 'Quantity 4'. My advice would be to never buy anything from any source that sounds like Michigan Motorsports or Autoplicity, since they seem to have no issue with the fact that their name and products are misrepresented online, and they won't take responsibility or offer help.

You may not be aware but AMAZON literally does.not.care. At all. Not about fraud. Not about blatantly incorrect listings. Nothing that enters into your (or my) consciousness as " wow, this seems sketchy af...probably wouldnt do that! " even registers on their radar. I recently purchased and reviewed an OTC drug product that I would bet my entire net worth on being counterfeit. I KNOW it's counterfeit, I work in this industry and it is 100% impossible that this is the real OTC drug from the listed manufacturer. For the absence of doubt, I even asked the manufacturer (poorly misspelled but I still figured out who they were trying to counterfeit) and even they said " hey, that's not ours! dont use it! ". The dosage form was even wrong from the instructions included, I mean it was a complete **** sandwich. You know what AMAZON did? They removed my review. They sent me a nice email saying that they had done their own research and they believe it truly is the listed drug product, from the listed manufacturer. Meanwhile the purported manufacturer's legal dept has asked for all my purchase info, samples, store listing etc. So yeah. Dont trust anything you see on AMAZON as being what it's represented as. DYOR. Live long and prosper.

In this case I think the seller is just unbelievably incompetent. I bought and paid for 8 quarts of oil. They shipped me only 2. The obvious solution is to just just ship me another 6 quarts, or refund me the cost of 6 quarts, if they don't have any more. We'd be all done then, and that would minimize wasted resources. They'd get to keep my money, I'd get the amount of oil I paid for, and everybody would be relatively happy even with a little delay, and I wouldn't feel a need to warn other people off their business. I might even use them again, who knows? Instead they are saying the ONLY possible solution is for me to return the 2 quarts I bought. There's no possible way they can correct the existing order by either shipping me more oil, or giving me a partial discount so we'd be square. So they're making me ship 2 quarts back to them, at their expense, and *hopefully* refunding my payment, although they're holding it hostage until they get the return package back and I won't be surprised at all if I have to fight more to get it back. So in the end it's a big waste of time, the most cumbersome process possible, nobody gets what they want, except Fedex who gets some extra business, and I'll definitely be leaving a bad review to try to save others the headache. Lesson learned is to pay close attention to who the seller is on places like Amazon. This one was hiding behind 2 layers of fake identities, pretending to be Driven Racing oil and/or Michigan Motorsports when in fact it's a 3rd company called Autoplicity, who is nearly impossible to contact and has a non-functioning voicemail box.

Sheesh. Another argument for brick and mortar.

Enough. We get the idea. Not technical, closing thread.
