The domain name AirbagsPlace.com has been seized by ICE – Homeland Security Investigations, pursuant to a warrant issued by a US District Court.
The web site, operating on a domain registered in 2015, appears to have been providing products that were fake, replicas or otherwise unauthorized by the official airbag manufacturers.
As part of the web site takedown, the following message appears:
“Willful copyright infringement is a federal crime that carries penalties for first time offenders of up to five years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, forfeiture and restitution […] If you purchased an airbag or airbag component from this web site, You may be a victim!! Please send us an email at CFAirbagVictims@ice.dhs.gov”
The company’s social media profiles on Facebook and Twitter have been disabled; their Instagram remains active for now.
It is safe to say that this illicit airbag business has now been put “on ice.”
