Welcome to our raplex digital environment. Every day, every one of us unknowingly offers unscrupulous operators myriad opportunities to take advantage of our digital security shortfalls.

I knew EXACTLY what I wanted, and I wanted someone to help me find it and buy it. I really didn’t care WHO would sell me this truck, but I did want whoever it would be to know all about Ford F-150 trucks AND to know where and how to find it.
