Phantom Stores

My investigation has revealed.
The fake auto sites are a progression from this particular group of scammers previous series of fake sites.
These same scammers ran a series of fake electronic stores.
The same tactics were used.
Stealing the identities of real companies.
Fake endorsements posted on Yahoo.
Payments using MoneyGram and Western Union.

As a result of my blog and posts on these scammers, I have been threatened and an attempt to hack my data has occured.
Its quite obvious I have put a "dent" in their car sales scam.
