Fraud Bulletin – April 21, 2026

Mega Produce, LLC BB #:327369, McAllen, TX, reports that an unauthorized individual is impersonating both the company and its sales representative, Justin Martinez.

It’s reported that the impersonator is sending emails requesting products – the following are key impersonator detail provided to Blue Book Services:

• Email Used: justin@megaproduces.com
• Signature phone number: 561-726-4858

Here is a snippet of the fraudulent email field:

The primary indicator that this email is fraudulent is found in the domain. The legitimate address is justin@megaproduce.com, while the impersonator used justin@megaproduces.com—adding a single “S.” This subtle change is a common tactic and can be easily overlooked without careful review.

In addition to the fraudulent domain, the email contains a generic greeting—a commonly observed red flag—and lists a phone number not associated with Mega Produce, LLC.

Blue Book contacted the number and reached a generic voicemail with no identification of the business or individual.

The scammer also seems to have product and pricing knowledge. Here are the full body and signature of the email:
