Hot Rods Hot Rod Website

Recently I decided to sell my old pickup and ten started looking for a replacement toy for my toybox shop. I ran across this website www.hotmusclecars.com and began searching through it for possible options. What I found was cars and trucks that looked really nice but the prices were what i consider to be unbelievable low. I even emailed questions to verify that it wasn't a typo.

My question is has anyone happened by this site and is it possible it's just a scam? Or am I off my rocker and the what I am seeing real and reasonable for today's pricing?

Not only pricing. If you do a search for cars and 1929 you'll see the same car at multiple cities.

Specifically this car https://www.hotmusclecars.com/details.php?id=20211&search_id=88306


Thanks for any feed back.

 

Would it be the "If it sounds to good to be true.........."

 

Multiple listings are typical as I source a lot of images and the Hotrods for sale provide many shares for me...

That is ridiculously low...that I would sure be leery of indeed...

Maybe search the BBB for this site it may be a source for trouble...however many sites are legit and the scammers park their s***my ***es in and litter them with BAIT...if you could actually see it and run a VIN that may help...but you may find nothing but excuses and only a request for a deposit...

Don't know about the legitimacy of this site below but it may be a genuine warning and good advise to heed...

I'm pretty darn sure these sites are mostly BS scam sites that re-post old for-sale ads gleaned from more legitimate sources.
If I plug the description of that car into Google, it comes up with the same text posted on other sites, like "topcl***iccarsforsale.com" and "truckhelp.com".
If I pull a random ad from one of those sites and search the text in Google, the same ads come up on additional sites like "davidscl***iccars.com" and "smcl***iccars.com"

These sites appear frequently in my search results too, because I'm constantly searching reference images for building model cars.
Even if they land just one or two ****ers, it's probably enough to keep them going.

I searched for "hotmusclecars.com domain information" and found it listed on ScamAdviser as 1% trusted, "low trust rating, this site may not be safe to use": https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/hotmusclecars.com
From a comment there: "Scam, this website works with another scam escrow company eCarsMTM traders. They took $5720 from me. This is first hand knowledge. Hotmusclecars.com is an information gathering website. Stay away from both."

Take that with a grain of salt, but yeah...more than enough red flags to stay far, far away!

 

Maybe a generic search engine?

 

I agree and info gathering. That car is listed on Cl***iccars.com and Topcl***iccars.com...and Cl***ic Cars says it's been sold.

If that car was for sale for that price, the owner could put it in the front yard with a sign on it and it would be gone in an afternoon. No need to go to the trouble of putting it on the internet. The bait is always a really good car for a really low, low price. It works. And the scammers know it.

 

Yep - did a search - and yes those cars look cheap - compared to what they are brining else where.

 

I suppose if one person out of 2,000 viewers goes for it that is all it takes. Like the emails involving a Arab prince.
