Scam Website Alert

Post by BobbyFord »

I was Google Image surfing last night for a pic of the speaker connector on a Bendix 12BT radio when I spotted a picture of my truck. I clicked on the pic and it took me to a website that was selling my truck! :shock:
The pic and item description was stolen from a 2014 Ebay ad when I was thinking about selling my truck. There was even a Google map in the ad with my city and state but the pic was of Florida and some of the wording appeared to be written in Russian.
The website is 2040-cars dot com. They also have a parts website, 2040-parts dot com, which is also a bogus site full of stolen photos and ad descriptions.
Here is a link to one of their bogus parts ads, check out the map...

http://www.2040-parts.com/1961-66-ford- ... -i1992151/

I did a scam search and found many posts on other car forums warning people of this site. Steer clear of this place.
Someone has a lot of time and effort invested in this scam. I'm just trying to get the word out.

That's has been happing for years now on E-Bay where stealing photos of somebodies vehicle not theirs and trying to sell it as if it was theirs. pics on the web are more or less open for fair game unless you can track them down, Our Rollback was a victim once and a thank you to April for pointing it out and was able to track it down got a number and threatened the person for using it and was taken off there site
