Tampa Motor Oil Co.

Anyone heard of this company?
tampamotoroil.com
Saw an ad for them and they've got some great (read almost too great) prices on oil. For example, a 3 pack of 5-quart Mobil1 Advanced for $42.09. I looked up the address on the contact info. It comes up on Zillow as a 2-bedroom condo in Tampa, Florida.

If it sounds too good to be true....

Nope. I bet the originator of that website probably has a 1000 Craigslist ads for cars, trucks, mini excavators and tractors for 1/3 the real value as well.

The address listed under contact info is a townhouse.

Probably a similar deal as the Vietnamese ebay sellers, drop shipping from Walmart.

No way.

Scam

 

[Hootbro]

You may get the oil, but somebody else's stolen credit card paid for Walmart to drop ship it.
