Cash for Clunkers Facts Web site Warns Consumers of Online Scams
CashForClunkersFacts.com read a recent blog post from an automotive Web site warning consumers to be on the look-out for scams surrounding the new Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS). The CARS program is the cash voucher system that was recently debated in the House and Senate and referred to as the "Cash for Clunkers" bill. The official Federal Web site for the CARS program is http://cars.gov
www.cashforclunkersfacts.com posted a warning urging consumers not to give out their social security numbers or other sensitive information to anyone calling or e-mailing them to register for the CARS program or the Cash for Clunkers program.
Consumers can qualify their clunkers on the http://cars.gov Web site. Once they qualify they will go to a local new car dealer to make a new car purchase. It's that simple. You do not need to get a voucher before you go to the car dealer.
To get updated answers on the bill please visit http://cars.gov.
