EUDM Autosports, one of very few auto-sport racing wheel distributors and retailers located in Brooklyn, New York has hundreds of retailers across the country duped. Aside from these wholesale purchasers who buy in bulk from EUDM in hope of making a profit, thousands of consumers have been fooled as well.
“They’ve created a projection and an illusion that they are authorized distributors. The sad truth is they have not at all been in touch with any of the actual manufacturers or distributors” Says Peter Gables, a private investigator for one of the companies who is seeking to pursue this matter in court. Gables continues, “By purchasing counterfeit wheels or any replicated product without consent of the rights owner, you are assisting these fraudulent companies”
Gables also mentioned,”Our investigations have not concluded yet, once we have gathered enough supporting evidence and information, we will discuss our options with our legal team”
Some of the intellectual property stolen and monetized by EUDM Autosports illegally include but are not limited to BBS, Rohana Wheels, VMR, Vossen Wheels, MMR, and many more.
