It is a fake company and the seller is also a scammer. The fake company built its website 7 days ago.

Please buy your vehicle locally where you can physically see it.

The scammer has no vehicle to sell. He is only trying to steal your money.

thanks for the info.

the more i looked into it, the more i was sure this was bogus.

actually am trying (most likely in vain) to get some info on him.

not sure why it took so long for me to find this site. i will definitely be doing what i can to help this site.

thanks again!

I received a phone call from someone who was possibly about to be scammed by these persons. I work for a company called Polaris Logistics. Thanks to Google, our name came up first in a search of companies called Polaris. Luckily, I was able to advise the caller AGAINST buying the truck from Boise ID. Several flags popped into my mind. First of all, the interested party resides in New Brunswick, Canada, a province east of Maine in the U.S. I reside in Baltimore. A simple explanation to the guy turned into a 45-minute phone call. I kept insisting it was not OUR Polaris company named in this scam. I involved my Chief Operating Officer, who happened to be visiting our office that week. He, too, advised the buyer against making the purchase. The first thing I pointed out to the potential buyer, was that OUR Polaris company is not a bank; we do not hold money in Escrow, pending a transaction. Further, I told him that that idea that they could give him a truck, for 5 days, to test-drive it, was worthless. There is a car dealership in Maryland that offers 24-hour test-drive and that's pushing the limit. In addition, the seller suggested to the buyer that she could deliver the Truck from Boise Idaho to New Brunswick, "In 2-3 days". I pointed out to the potential buyer that it was well over 3000 miles from Idaho to the very western edge of New Brunswick, and that the fastest way to make the journey would be via the United States. Any direct-north-to Canada route would add too many miles. This idea that you can drive something 3000 miles in 2 days is ludicrous. Unless you pay a TEAM of drivers to drive nonstop, that's the only way you can make 3000 miles in 2 days. OUR Polaris company prides itself on being 'bodyguard for your freight' and this is NOT us. There are 2 other Polaris Logistics companies in the United States - one is based in Toledo OH. There is a Polaris Transportation Group that works only in Canada. Then there is the Polaris company that makes recreational vehicles for off-road adventures. We are not affiliated with them either. The New Brunswick buyer gave me the email addresses of those with whom he was corresponding and I sent them a little email with no Letter-body, only the subject line of "Boise Truck?", figuring they'd see my Polaris email and reply, "Sorry, wrong Polaris." But I've not heard from them.
Lastly, the emails between the buyer and seller never used the word TITLE. Here in the States, that word is used ANY TIME a vehicle is about to change hands. The seller used the word "Documentation" instead, which raised another red-flag for me. I advised the potential New Brunswick buyer 3 separate times, during our 45-minute call, to run from this transaction; to avoid this transaction; to purchase a truck some other way.
