Fraudulent Aircraft Model Site: FlightModels (shopflightmodels.com) & Turbo Detail (turbodetailmodels.com) - Time to take legal action?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been doing extensive research into two aircraft model sites that have been scamming people: FlightModels and Turbo Detail.
After making a purchase myself and documenting every piece of evidence (screenshots of the fake listings, the checkout traps, and the completely wrong items that arrived), I did a deep dive into who is actually running this operation.
If you want these guys shut down—and want them to face legal consequences—here are their real, verified details and exactly how we can report them to the authorities.
Who is running it?
Both sites are run by the same two Australian individuals out of Queensland:
- Benjamin Leonard Peters (The registered owner of both
shopflightmodels.comandturbodetailmodels.com) - Alycia Chloe Chapman
- Company Name: THE BOSS COLLECTIVE GROUP PTY LTD
- ACN: 650 826 636
- Registered Address: 7 Phelan Street, CLAYFIELD QLD 4011
They are the only listed directors/members of the company. Because they are operating an Australian-registered company, they are fully bound by Australian Consumer Law, which means they can face massive personal and corporate fines for fraudulent marketing, fake reviews, and bait-and-switch tactics.
How to help get them shut down (Two Quick Steps):
To stop them from scamming anyone else, we need to flood the regulators and their hosting platform with reports. Please take 5 minutes to complete these two steps:
1. Report them to the Australian Government (Scamwatch)
- Link: https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam
- Why this matters: Scamwatch passes data directly to the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) for legal enforcement. Crucially, they also share fraud reports directly with Meta (Facebook & Instagram). This will help get their ad accounts permanently banned so they can't lure in new victims.
- What to include: Give them the company name (The Boss Collective Group Pty Ltd), the names of the individuals above, and state that they are engaging in deceptive pricing, fake "closing down" sales, and bait-and-switch fraud.
2. Report them to Shopify to take the sites offline
- Link: https://www.shopify.com/legal/tools/report-an-issue/fraud
- Why this matters: Both stores are built on Shopify. If Shopify receives multiple fraud reports about a merchant using hardcoded fake reviews, resetting countdown timers, and not delivering promised items, they will pull the plug on the websites and freeze their payment processing.
- Note: You do need to quickly log in or create a free Shopify account to submit the form. It’s annoying, but it’s the fastest way to get their actual websites taken down.
If you’ve been burned by either of these sites, please take a moment to hit them where it hurts. Let's make sure they get banned from Shopify, kicked off Facebook ads, and flagged by the ACCC.
