Even if one signs up for email updates there is nothing suspicious.

It may not come up unless you are filing an application, but be careful, as once you hit wrong button your computer belongs to gov’t. Glenn showed it on his show, so go to his website and ask the questions or look at it.

"If you are accessing Cash For Clunkers, at some point (application?) the NORMAL agree/accept notice is available to accept or reject.
That is not a government website. That is a scam website. Calm down. And I hope somebody posts the alleged disclaimer text. All these wide-eyed hoo-hah and ohnoes are embarrassing.

Ya know folks, people frogmarched Nixon out of office for piddley assed Watergate.
Why is Barack Obama and the government in place now with no one marching their traitor asses out of DC?
We get what we deserve if we allow this to happen.
I am about sick of it.

Glenn had a screen shot of the message. Anyone watching in Central time zone it should come on around 6:10PM
The Glenn Beck show I saw had no screenshot. He clicked on the link, his PC locked up, and then he quoted the text in the disclaimer. The text he displayed on the screen was not a computer screenshot. Either it was never there, it was changed quickly upon his disclosure of it, or it's in a very obscure place on the site. I followed the same link he clicked on his TV show, and found nothing.

Thanks, Quigley. (First name Carroll, by chance? [grin])

Okay, this is progress, what URL did that come from?

The site he was at was the dealer login, not the one for the consumer.

I posted this earlier. It may address at least non-gov sites. I did not see anything weird at the .gov site. I did at .com sites.
Page 1
Cash for Clunkers Scams The federal government recently signed into law the Car Allowance Rebate System(CARS), commonly known as Cash for Clunkers. This is a government program that helps consumers purchase new, more fuel efficient vehicles when they trade in a less fuel efficient, gas guzzling vehicles.
Bogus so-called Cash for Clunkers websites have popped up all over the Internet, asking consumers to provide personal information, including names, addresses and social security numbers, so they can register for or enroll in the program.
Other sites tell car shoppers they will put them in touch with authorized Cash for Clunkers dealers in their area.
These websites are all scams. The only valid CARS website is http://www.cars.gov.

That was what Beck had on the TV because his computer had locked up. I just used the pause button on the tv.

Correction: now that I’ve seen the online reply of the show, the user has to be a logged in dealer before they get that disclaimer. I don’t think you can view it without signing on as a program participant.
To: George from New England
To bad this had to happen on a Friday. Beck will have more on it but won’t be able to air it until Monday.
