While perusing this Boat and Car Auction scam sites | Be Alert, See the Evidence (http://www.boatauctionsinfo.com/auction-scam.html) site about boat repossessions I came across a review of several scam site that seem to be still online

http://www.car-auction.com/Seized_Boats.php


sn't found on Google's sponsored (paid search) listings but Yahoo includes it. If you type in "boat auctions" or "repo boats" in Yahoo search you will find car-auction.com using a disguised domain name Boat-Auction.com or AutoAuctionSpot.com. You will find this in the Yahoo paid listings. It's real domain is car-auction.com.

The site attempts to front itself as a repo 'boat auctions' site but once you join it merely points you to yachtauctions.com.

Ripoff Report | Car-auction.com Complaint Review Internet: 431394 (http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/431/RipOff0431394.htm)

Anyone have any to add to the list or any more date on these sites?

car-auctions lists a camen islands server linked to parked.com
74.117.116.67
Also lists "Hunt Brothers" as Organisation.

Odd that a US repossession company seems to operate out of the camyen islands

This malware site

Here is another
governmentauctionsuk.com
Which for a UK government repossessions site seems to be running out of a server in Texas?
