[USER=545]@Rick Buffkin[/USER] This is a bit of a cat and mouse game but there are definitely ways to prevent them from scraping. The first is banning a group of IP addresses they use to scrape. You can take that a step further and prevent those pages from rendering pictures or pricing data when the page wasn't requested from another page on your site. Theres some caveats to that though.


I think the best option is to contact your dealer association and have them handle it.  This service is misleading customers at your expense, which is a big no no. Surprised they're not sued into oblivion yet.
