organized crime is a lucrative business, with a vast network. like the dominicans and their buky gambling business. all a large enterprise. the worst scam of them all is the bottled water business. you ask me, i say Arrowhead and sparklets are part of the mafia. or Malibu lighting, have you been to home depot and seen all the different outdoor lighting companys, all owned or subdivision of Malibu lighting (purchaser must be getting a huge kick back) which btw requires their own $6.00 bulb, not compatible with anything else. i wanted to change careers but i was scared what god might say.

I got a couple of e-mails in response to AutoTrader ads asking for "as many pictures as possible", the VIN, and a fax of the window sticker. I became suspicious when 2 e-mails were worded identically, including abbreviations. One ad was for a Toyota, the other for a Porsche.
Anyone else get something similar?
