    Danger! Scam! Danger! Danger!

    Saw this on the boards at ATV Connection.

    Looks like a huge scam.

    http://www.online-atv.com

    They have unbelievable prices.
    They have no address, no phone.
    They want payment sent to a private account in Germany via Western Union only.
    Site is full of misspellings.
    All pics are standard brochure shots.

    Don't say I didn't warn you.

    dang! too good to be true, if it is. I dont think I would be sending them $3500 for a $7000 sled and expect to get anything!

    3-5 day shipping from Germany. That's one hell of an operation they've got. They don't offer any info on the quads--just payment info.

    check out the feedback reveiws....looks like he copied someones feedback from ebay. alot of the comments are repeated and he even has a customer complaining of "never receiving the product" and is turning him in on fraud.---Joe 8)
    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    Heres a plan. I saw they had a suzuki quad sport 80 for like $800. If we could get a bunch of people ( like 50 - 100) to chip in 10 or 20 bucks we could order one to see if their legit. I mean who knows , it might be crap but I'd pay 20bucks just to find out if it is or not, because if it is legit than those are some sweet deals. We could send the money to one of the admins here and have them order it. If we don't get it then oh well we lost a couple of bucks. If we do get it then great we know where to get sweet deals. Im fully admitting it looks as shady as a forest at night but who knows. And by the way I only mentioned the suzuki 80 because its cheap.
