Anybody familiar with this show company?

On the site, this sounds like a great show being held here at the Phoenician Resort in January. I though this would be a good show to take the Speedster to it, so I started registering on the site. I thought it was weird that, after submitting the registration, the site gave me no options to pay the fees, it simply jumped me directly to PayPal. I don't mind PayPal at all, but I expected to be given a choice of various payment methods, and not being asked seemed strange so I stopped.

On a hunch, I called the events group at the Phoenician, and they have no record of a car show being scheduled there for those dates. I dug around the show website and found a contact number that I called, and the guy I talked to didn't have much of an idea what was going on either. He didn't offer to follow up, just said that I should sign up for their mailing list to be notified - but he didn't really say what I would be notified of.

Has anybody dealt with this company on other shows before? Sounds like a scam, based on what I'm finding so far, but if it is real, it does sound like a cool show.

Thanks,
Jon

Jon, I have never heard of them. However, two things struck me as interesting on their website.
1. the Scottsdale event is held the same week(end) as the Barrett-Jackson Auction festival :W

2. they held an event at the PB Mansion and nobody told us

I didn't even notice that. Seems like a bad weekend to schedule a big show like that. Plus, the Phoenician and every hotel for miles around is likely to be booked solid for that whole week.

Thanks! I was bored over the weekend, so I put the rear plate on the scanner. It's too hot to do any car-related stuff outside, so that was as close as I could come.

Neon is a VERY cool idea...
