Default VetteHound?

Anyone ever looked at cars on vettehound and if you have, have you noticed that there are some obvious (seems to me) scams on there? Like a 2002 w/35k miles for $8500 with free shipping.

I did a long time ago,,and even then there were some absurd low prices. I later learned some hijack online adds from elsewhere and substitute their own text,price etc. The then try to get a deposit or money up front. DON'T like dealing on line ,,AT ALL!!!

Yep , It's been that way over there forever. They are always happy to sell you a car that actually belongs to somebody else. All it takes is to post a picture of someones car, anybodies car, and they collect the money. Only a sucker would fall for that but apparently there are some suckers because they keep doing it.

Well to all vet owners. This website is a SCAM front. How do i know this, because i was a victim of a SCAM with this website. I currently have the FBI, Homeland Security and Attorney Generals from 3 states informed on this SCAM. The SCAM crossed 3 states. If you visit this site, you might notice that there is no contact information on it other than a e-mail address. You ask for information and someone e-mails you with information. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS WEBSITE!!!
