So, no official announcement from their side?

The official word is "we hired a PR Agent who told us this whole thing will blow over."

Funny, but probably true.

It's the Great TrueCar Lesson: They let their staff engage negatively on social, then their PR guy couldn't get Scott under control. Train Wreck. So nobody does anything if dealers don't complain. I'm looking right now at a client who has experienced digital fraud, that I can find, of nearly $230k total. And they don't want to do anything but change vendors. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Excellent, thanks for sharing this @joe.pistell . Impressed by the knowledge of @Jeffrey Tognetti , will be watching this video a few times at least. Jeff, you mention a data privacy agreement that dealers should make sure is in place, do you (or anyone) have sample agreements to share?
