Kelley Blue Book is warning buyers not to fall victim to a scam using a fake version of its KBB.com website. The SCAMERS created the website that imitates the look, feel and naming conventions of the companies and solicit money from car buyers. Victims are sucked in through a discounted price offered for a car. They are then told to deposit a partial or full payment for the car in a special account that supposedly operates as a guaranteed buyer-protection program. They are told that after making the payment they will be shipped the car and have five days to get it checked out by a mechanic and test drive the vehicle. But in reality, the money disappears and the car is never delivered.
