Peavey Mart, which is going through a liquidation process, is warning customers about scams and fraud, stating it is not selling its products online or over the phone.
Recently, Peavey Industries LP, Canada’s largest farm and ranch retail chain, officially announced the closure of all its stores nationwide. This decision follows the company’s filing for creditor protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), granted by the Court of King’s Bench Alberta.
The closures will affect 90 Peavey Mart stores and six MainStreet Hardware locations, with liquidation sales set to begin immediately. This marks the end of a nearly six-decade-long legacy for the Alberta-based retailer, which has been a staple in Canada’s rural and suburban retail market.
Here’s the notice it has posted on its website.
Dear Valued Customer,
We want to alert you to fraudulent activity involving fake social media profiles and websites falsely claiming to be Peavey Mart.
- Our official website is peaveymart.com, but it is not accepting orders.
- Our liquidation sales are in-store only.
- We will never ask for credit card payments online/ phone.
Please be cautious and verify sources before engaging with any online offers. If a website is not peaveymart.com, it is NOT our website. Similarly, if a social media page does not carry the verified ‘Peavey Mart’ name and checkmark, it is NOT affiliated with us.
If you believe you have been a victim of fraud from a fake website impersonating Peavey Mart, we strongly advise you to:
- Immediately contact your credit card company to report the fraud.
- Work with them to resolve the situation and protect your funds.
- Contact your local RCMP department non-emergency line and create a police report.
Your security is important to us.
Stay vigilant and thank you for your continued support.
-Peavey Mart
