2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid for $15,500? Only a Hoax

Ever dreamed to snatch a 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid for a song? Well, some of us surely did and, according to a recent email that circulated on the web, buying a cheap 2010 Fusion hybrid might be a dream come true. However, representatives of Ford, a.k.a. the company that produces and sells the 2010 Fusion, quickly stepped in the front of media representatives and ruined our dreams: a $15,500 price tag for the upcoming model is almost impossible so, the aforementioned mail is only a fake.

In other words, some Internet users have confirmed they received emails telling about a special Ford offer that includes 500 2010 Ford Fusion hybrids to be sold for $15,500. It's only a scam, Ford said in a yesterday release, so users are recommended to delete the message and not respond to the sender.

"According to an email that is circulating, Ford Motor Company is offering a special program to sell 500 2010 Fusion Hybrids for $15,500 each. Unfortunately, the offer is not legitimate and the email is a hoax. Also, the sales manager listed in the email is not a company employee. Ford recommends that people delete the email and any attachments," Ford said in the statement rolled out yesterday.

This isn't the first time when Ford is the subject of Internet scams, as a malicious attempt took place in April too when some scammers tried to make use of the company's nameplate to redirect visitors to an infected website and download dangerous software.

The whole process was fairly simple: people using Google or other search engines looking for certain Ford information were assaulted by a number of malicious websites. Once the visitor entered the page, a fake video asked him to download and install a video codec in order to be able to play the multimedia content.
