Types of Scams to Watch For

Scam Warnings

Scammers routinely steal the logos of large companies in a malicious attempt to trick their victims. Below are scams we’ve been made aware of, and we are actively working with all applicable authorities in an effort to stop these scam attempts.

Stanley Tool Set Scam

Customers have made us aware of an email circulating with our logo, inviting them to fill out information to win a Stanley Tool Set. Here is an example of the email:


This email is not from O’Reilly Auto Parts! Scammers are using our name in an attempt to steal payment information from their victims.

If you have gotten this email, do not click the link and delete the message.

Makita Tool Set Scam

Customers have made us aware that emails are circulating with our logo, telling the recipient they’ve won a free Makita tool set. Here is an example of the email:


  • The email instructs the recipient to click a link to pay shipping fees and requests credit card information.

This email is not from O’Reilly Auto Parts! Scammers are using our name in an attempt to steal payment information from their victims.

If you have gotten this email, do not click the link and delete the message.


Email Scams

  • Customers have made us aware that emails are circulating with our logo, telling the recipient they’ve won a free Stanley tool set or Michelin Tires. Here are examples of the emails:

    All the emails ask recipients to click a link and pay shipping fees by entering their credit card information. The email is not from O’Reilly Auto Parts! Scammers are using our name in an attempt to steal payment information from their victims.

    If you have gotten this email, do not click the link and delete the message.

Auto Wrap Scam

Another scam is using the O’Reilly name on a letter with accompanying checks for what’s described as an “Auto Wrap Program.” Here is an example of the letter and check:




  • Recipients are asked to deposit the enclosed payment check, then confirm they want to participate in the program by emailing or texting a copy of the deposit slip. The letter says if a copy of the deposit slip is provided the day the letter is received, the individual will qualify for a $200 Amazon gift card.

This letter is not from O’Reilly Auto Parts! Scammers are using our name and logo in an attempt to steal bank account information from their victims. Do not deposit the check, and do not send any information regarding your bank account to the email or phone number in the letter.


If you have received either the Stanley Tool Set email or the Auto Wrap Program letter, please report it to your local law enforcement agency, the consumer fraud division of your state Attorney General’s office, or the Federal Trade Commission. You can also flag the message as junk and/or phishing for your email provider.
