    PSA: Watch Out

    as some of you know i am trying to sell my VX21. (time for newer Vexus boat )

    well yesterday i got a text from a guy about purchasing it. in a series of emails he asked all the right question to make me believe he was a real buyer.
    then he said "i would like for you to give me a report from "TheAutoPrime.com" or "Autzilla.Com" to verify there is no issues with t he boat. my brain starts yelling SCAM.

    do a little research, these sites while not having a great rating are slightly above the SCAM Site rating, but cost around $100 for the report. i told the guy my boat has never been anywhere but the factory for service and the factory does not send there data on repairs to anyone. He insists -- now i know its a scam, my theory is this guy works for these sites and gets a cut of any $$$ he provides to them..

    Watch out, seems like there are a lot of low life's after your hard earned dollar - - - - and i would avoid these web sites !

    hope everyone has a Great Christmas , be safe and enjoy your family ..

    -Steve

    Scammers are just bottom feeders ! Truth be known they are the ones that always falls for someone else's scam.

    Exact thing happened to me last month with those exact sites. Did research and its a scam... They make a commision when you would purchase a report or something like that.
