I have personally been on this website and was interested in purchasing a boat.
I found it a little sus myself as the company (cheapboatsstore.com) wanted the payment to go through an organisation called 'Clear secured transaction Law' on this website
http://www.cst-law.b...ct/contact.html
This website is 'apparently' located in Florida. As you may see from the link this website looks very unprofessional and sus. The boats are cheap but it's still a reasonable amount of money to risk on a scam. So i decided to look further into this.
Turns out the website for cst-law.biz is actually registered in france (i looked it up on on the following website)
http://whois.domaint...com/cst-law.biz
Here is what showed up on domain:
