Yes, only dealers can access this part of the site. However, brokers keep information on people who bought cars from them such as:
credit history
Banking Information
SSN
Personal references (with addresses and phone numbers)
Pretty much anything someone would need to commit identity theft. Information will be available, regardless of whether you participated in the program or not, if you bought a car from a dealer who participates in the program of your information is now owned by the Government and may be used and shared with national and foreigners.
I predict it will be a problem.
BTW, tonalc2 source is the Daily Kos. Who ignores the facts I have just outlined. lol
Wow.
What kind of interpretation is it? Are you seriously insinuating that the U.S. government wants to commit identity theft on its own people ... regardless of what chunk of text talking about how the government will pursue fraud or identity theft, etc. ...?
Honestly people.
WTF? Flag
tonalc2, what powers do you have in your reply to the original question numbered? You provided no source and no backup data, just statements.
This is just the beginning
1. If you are a consumer visits cars.gov (money "in case" website) the federal government can not take control of your computer, or ask permission to do so.
Two. The "terms of use" statement to which Beck refers is not cars.gov. It is rather a login page for transactions dealership located esc.gov.
3. The only people who can obtain credentials for the connection esc.gov site are dealers who have been tested and approved for the cash "to break" program.
4. To summarize: the page in question ISN.
