I was solicited by this company yesterday and immediately jumped online to see who they were. I also checked usacomplaints. Coms.com to see if there were any claims against them.
Here is what they promised:
-To get me top dollar for my car (well on the high end of what it is worth in the open market)
-Cars normally sell within 90days and if it doesn't sell they will classify as a premium listing on their web site until it sells
-8 million people circulation (if you look on cars.com, it says 8 million shoppers - seems as if they pulled it from there)
Here is what they asked:
-$499 up front (not after selling the car)
-Credit Card number over the phone - no online secure payment offered - they claimed it was not safe
Here is what I found:
-Their ebay rating was in the 60's... If they are as big as they say, it would easily be in the thousands (they claim ebay is their main selling source too)
-3 additional reports on usacomplaints. Coms.com claiming foul play
-They were dropped from the Nevada Better Business Bureau because of so many complaints
-They couldn't furnish a good reason for how they found me or why they chose my car over the hundreds in my city - When people call you, it is likely to be fraudulent
My thoughts:
-They take your money, promise you a high return for your car - then when the car doesn't sell because of the high price and their lowly efforts to sell your car, you are out the money - no refunds
I leave it to you all to decide what to do. I did not accept their service personally and can't say that I was defrauded. However, my advice is to sell it yourself and be patient. You can get a good amount from just waiting for the right buyer to come along. Good things come to those who wait.
