The Internet is a breeding ground for this kind of practice. It is happening in every online industry, and will continue to happen. We just have to be aware that it is happening and try to keep an eye out for it. Thanks for getting this issue out on the table Jeff. As for some of the names already put out there. My guess is that just as there is a bad apple, there is a good one. The good ones have to clean up the bads ones' messes. I guess further that the people we actually hear from are the good ones, and we'll never know who the bad ones are.

"We suggest that dealers explore a variety of providers to deliver the volume they want."
