Everyone who was a victim of fraud or theft needs to file a police report with their local law enforcement agencies. This is the only recourse we have. Thanks again to 4RUN-GT2 for posting the procedure on the first post of the thread.



Edit: 4/10/23 - I was able to contact LV Metro Police Department. Due to the nature of this crime it cannot be filed online or over the phone. The sheriff department local to any victims must submit a "courtesy report" on our behalf. Please call your local sheriff's department.

This is also a good resource for people who need detailed info for their police report, lawyer, etc. Plug "bx built" and "aspect of style" individually into the search function for more LLC related details.

Just heard about all of this BXB garbage today, haven't contacted them since December. Quickly contacted my bank, they said they'd be able to get a dispute started so hopefully I'll be able to get my money back... such a shame, but even more so, an annoyance to waste so much of everyone's time

They were over selling . They couldn’t keep up with demand. I was lucky. I got my set . But they were asking me for more money so they can bump me up on the waiting list. I refused. Sorry for those who did not get their light…

I heard back from the Nevada DA's office who stated that they were not an investigative body and to contact Las Vegas Metro PD to initiate a report. They have an online reporting process and I contacted them and attempted to make an online report. Because the business is known (as opposed to it being an unknown person), you have to either make the report in person at a local Las Vegas Metro PD station, or (which will probably apply to most of us), go to your local police station and see if they will take a "courtesy report". The agency taking the report will forward the report to Las Vegas Metro PD. If they refuse, your nearest Sheriff's station will generally be more willing to take a report. I would suggest submitting a "statement of the facts" of your particular case so that it can be submitted with the report. I wish there was an easier process but that's where this process is at the moment. I'll update with additional info as more updates become available.

************************************************** **EDIT 03/11/2023********************************************** ****

Thanks everyone for responding. Let's hope it helps us all in getting these crooks prosecuted for fraud. Again, thanks for responding and pass the thread on to others that have been victimized by BXBUILT.

I go down to my local PD for a police report on Monday, 03/13/2023. I was doing a little searching prior to that so I can provide them with BXBUILTs' ownership info. I came upon a thread in TacomaWorld (TW) that voiced many of the same sentiments as all of us here. Many victims over there as well. I thought Daniel Hawkins with was the owner or co-owner, as that's the person who responded to emails for them. He apparently is distancing himself from the person he identified as the owner (Andrew Abalos). Hawkins basically washed his hands of most of his involvement with BXBUILT. If you want more info on that, you can search out BXBUILT on TW. I'm going to submit links to this thread and that one on TW with the PD on Monday.

If there's any useful info to add after the report, I'll post up on Monday evening.

************************************************** ******EDIT 03/13/2023********************************************** *

Got the Police report. Super easy and only took 10 minutes from start to finish. It's a courtesy report so they are simply documenting the incident and submitting a brief very summary of what happened. Any documentation that you provide will ultimately be forwarded to LVMPD for further review/investigation. I provided a copy of my credit card receipt, a copy of this thread and the list of people that responded to it since late yesterday (03/12/2023), as well as my conversation with the Nevada DA"s office. So that should give you some idea of what to bring or have available when you have your report taken. You can simply call and have them come out to your house or business. Let's get everyone's incident documented with your local PD.

************************************************** ************************************************** *****************

I'll start it off being victim 1: Date ordered 11/2021, LED headlights, painted black housing, paid $600 and never received.
Any new updates to report on your case or from any other members? I'm still working towards a resolution with my bank and local sheriffs department.

Sorry for the delay, somehow wasn't notified there was a reply. I haven't heard anything yet which is not too surprising. Involved investigations with multiple victims (especially out of state) can all lead to extended investigation periods. It's still not clear if this will be handled on the local or possibly the Federal level.

I will encourage others to keep responding to this thread. As previously stated, I provided my local PD with a link to this thread so it's possible LVMPD are aware of the victims responding to this thread.

I will report any new updates in case I am contacted by any agency.

Regarding your resolution with your bank and local sheriff's department, does it look like you might be receiving a refund?

Just from doing a very quick skim over this thread I’ve counted over 10k dollars stolen and I’m sure the real number is way higher.

I hope all of you are able to get money back. Absolutely ridiculous that this happened

Missing Corner Lights

BxBuilt ordered Dec 2021. Like most endless emails and messages. I was in process of using NV AG in email sent to them and received my Headlights February 2023 minus the corner lights. I recently sent messages with no return.

Fortunately, I was able to file a claim through my credit card and recoup the funds. Still annoying that these crooks get off without penalty.
