Here’s a good read for those who like reading about fraud and scamming others. Things are still unfolding. Sad to see there are people out there like this. People and shops losing tens of thousands of dollars, and reputations potentially being destroyed. > **[Austin Oakes / LLR massive fraud, CAREFUL! - R35 GT-R](http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/114382-austin-oakes-llr-massive-fraud-careful/)** > > Page 1 of 40 - Austin Oakes / LLR massive fraud, CAREFUL! - posted in R35 GT-R: BE WARNED.

Cliffs: -guy pays $14 grand for a turbo kit in January -now May, still has no parts -posts up on GTR Life -others start posting their horror stories including some of the biggest shop names in the GTR world -evidence starting to unfold of wire and credit fraud, and ponzi scheme ---

From a quick read so far, there are too many people using the word BRO on that site. And not in jest. Still sucks to hear. But shop scams like this will be going on until the end of time. ---

But shop scams like this will be going on until the end of time. LLR is not and was not a shop. They were a racing team. English Racing and ETS were scammed by LLR. ---

I must have misunderstood what I was reading. One guy bought a turbo kit from a racing team? And the other guy had a car built by a racing team? ---

One guy bought a used turbo kit. Other guy bought an already built car. Lease locators never did any work. ---

A bunch of people got swindled into fraudulent investments. Only thing I learned is gtr owners are a wealthy breed of stupid. ---
