A very well designed web site that baits people with listings of new old stock outboard motors a few model years ago at very low, but somewhat credible prices.
Evidently their angle is to catch a few suckers who pay using bank account transfers, and use money mules, either complicit or unwitting, to generate Pay Pal invoices to those who use credit cards or Pay Pal, which they just refund and shrug off.
They use fake addresses of unaffiliated real outboard motor or motor parts dealers for their purported locations. But the lack of a credit card payment option straight away was a red flag.
Moral of the story: if you can't use a credit card or something secure such as Pay Pal, in which you are protected, skip anything that looks too good to be true, even if marginally so.
This is a scam. The address the website uses belongs to a real outboard dealer. I called them and they know about it but there is nothing they can do.
